“I've used Gale for years as an essential database for my students in my global history and geography classes. It's made research so much easier. I've even had students say they used what we learned in my class about using Gale in other classes. If we are moving towards a PBL model that involves 'transfer' skills, then databases like Gale are needed now more than ever.”
“By limiting the content allowed into the search pool, databases such as the two reviewed here [U.S. History in Context and World History in Context] avoid burying researchers with the sheer number of results returned in an open Web search.”
