Hi Everyone - I just wanted to send an e-mail to invite you and your staffs to the Department of the Interior Library on Wednesday, August 19th from 2:00 to 4:00 pm for a free DOI Library Training Session on "The Gale Directory and Virtual Reference Libraries." Gale Group, part of Cengage Learning, is known for publishing authoritative directories on companies, publishers, associations, and more. Gale is now able to provide these resources to the Interior Department in a digital format via the Gale Directory Library. Additionally, Gale’s new Virtual Reference Library is also providing DOI personnel with electronic, full-text access to authoritative reference titles on subjects such as American Indians, the environment, American history, law, and natural science. Attendees to this session will learn how to search a single directory or e-book, or the entire collection of each of these databases. The ability to cross-search, generate lists, analyze trends, and export citations from these online collections will also be examined. This class will be taught by a Gale Group trainer. All that are interested are invited. The DOI Library is located in the Main Interior Building, located at 1849 C Street, NW, Room 1151 in Washington. Space is limited so please contact the Library by phone at (202) 208-5815 or by e-mail at [log in to unmask] to let us know you will be coming. For more information about future DOI Library Training Sessions, we encourage you to visit our Training Sessions website at http://library.doi.gov/programs/training/index.html . We hope to see you here on August 19th!
