Challenge #3 - Gale Virtual Reference Library

I'm not sure why I have been putting off doing this challenge. It really didn't take much time, and what a great resource Gale Virtual Reference Library is.

I was pleased to see that Grzimek's Student Animal Life Resource was one of the 500 plus titles. This was always a favorite of mine when helping children work on animal reports.

It was easy to search, contains great information and has wonderful pictures of the animals. The source citation should be a big help for the children writing reports.

It should be a popular resource for the students who wait until the night before the assignment is due to begin their research.

The next title I want to explore is the Gale Encyclopedia of Surgery and Medical Tests.

I plan to share information on GVRL at a branch staff meeting soon
