Gale Virtual Reference Library is a platform that works like a standard database and allows librarians to create a customized online reference collection that is available to patrons remotely24/7. Included in the Gale Virtual Reference Library are many acclaimed encyclopaedias, biographical collections, business plan handbooks, company history compilations, consumer health references and specialized reference sources for multidisciplinary research with cross-searching capability.
Gale Virtual Reference Library makes access to and use of reference content fluid, placing collection development choices for e-reference entirely in the hands of librarians. It is the kind of service that makes life easier for the librarians and their patrons.
