The Resources

Gale has always been at the forefront of innovation in online references. Our line of periodical resources provides the largest and most comprehensive aggregations of digital periodical content available with nearly 20,000 titles, 57 collections and the fewest embargoes on average. Only Gale dedicates a team of expert indexers who manually read articles and apply specific subject terms, saving time – and frustration - for the researcher. Gale periodical solutions operate on the PowerSearch platform, which enables users to cross-search content found in a single collection, with other collections and with Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL) works.

Gale’s PowerSearch platform is, by definition, powerful. PowerSearch's clean, intuitive interface offers users the ability to search across more than 150 million documents and includes a number of convenient features, such as:

Sharing tools, including Twitter, Delicious, MySpace, Reddit, Digg, Facebook, Newsvine and more
The ability to create individual user account profiles, name and save any search, and receive search alerts when new content is available, thus making staying on top of the latest research a snap
Enhanced search results that incorporate context-sensitive multimedia, including images, videos, and podcasts
11 language choices – including Russian, Arabic, and Polish – for on-demand translation of documents
Customizable RSS feeds on the homepage that enable the library and researcher to highlight information and publications important to their community or research
A downloadable MP3 file for every article empowering on-the-go researchers to listen through a variety of devices
ReadSpeaker text-to-speech technology allows each article to be read aloud to the user – catering to the needs of auditory learners
