Online Tutorials for Gale Databases
It's late at night (or perhaps early in the morning). That ten-page assignment is due at 9am. The library is closed, leaving you without a librarian to help figure out that pesky online database. What can you do? If you're using a Gale database (such as Canada in Context, Opposing Viewpoints or the Gale Virtual Reference Library) there are a number of online tutorials available from the Gale website. These tutorials often give an overview of how to use a database, what resources are available and how to choose the best search terms.
As an example, here is an overview for the Gale Virtual Reference Library:
The tutorials are also a nice refresher for even the advanced database user, especially as databases are updated and modified on a regular basis. Happy searching!
