AND, if time allows, new general reference database is called XREFERPLUS
will be demonstrated. Brand New!!
The Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL) is hot off the presses - or the
electronic equivalent - and it will prove to be a valuable addition to the
ever-growing list of e-book services. Numerous adjustments are in store, but
the interface is sound. GVRL provides an ideal way to offer either a small
collection in new subject areas or, more likely, material that is so popular
librarians will want to provide simultaneous use. The features are numerous,
and navigation is straightforward, yet the system can be tailored to satisfy
the most sophisticated researcher. The persistent URLs allow faculty to
integrate text into their syllabi, and reference departments will be pleased
with both the presentation of material and the flexibility of use."
