RESOURCE HIGHLIGHT
GALE’S “IN CONTEXT” SERIES DATABASES Gale/Cengage has recently unified and modernised their database products. ASP subscribes to three titles in the engaging "In Context" series: Science, Opposing Viewpoints and Global Issues. Except for Science In Context which is searchable by itself, both Opposing View Points and Global Issues can be searched separately or simultaneously thus enhancing and maximizing the user's search experience. All products are cross-curricular, support full Boolean logic and provide hundreds of topics that link to portals which makes discovery and exploration simple and meaningful. The media-rich content includes fulltext magazine and journal articles, videos, images, news feeds, videos and more. NOTE: These resources are accessible through our databases page on our library web site. You will need the login sheet to access the “In Context” series remotely.
