Gale Virtual Reference Library's unprecedented searchability empowers users to search a single eBook or your whole collection. Online searchability makes often-requested titles available to multiple users — and not just during business hours. Your library users can link to reference content through your OPAC or directly from the Table of Contents or Index page of a specific title. You?re offering unlimited circulation of your reference collection with no checkout requirements and no turnaways. And cross-title searches mean faster, more comprehensive results.

If a publisher is known by the company it keeps, then Gale’s reputation is unquestionably solid.

Gale Virtual Reference Library’s basic search functionality is simple to use — researchers find terms through a keyword search, by document title or by searching an entire document. For research that requires a more advanced approach, Gale Virtual Reference Library supports searches that combine more criteria.
