Gale PowerSearch features

There's a brand new interface for the Gale PowerSearch database platform (we old-timers know it as  'InfoTrac'), and it is downright nifty. The company's new slogan is "Power to the User" and with that in mind, the visually appealing design offers more features than ever before, but makes them easier to find.

  1. Enticing homepage with teasers to the latest articles under hot topic headings
  2. Easy browsing through more than 20,000 publications
  3. On demand translation of articles, with 11 languages
  4. Personal accounts for saving searches and receiving search alerts when new content is available
  5. RSS feeds for your personal account
  6. Images, video and podcasts enhance search results
  7. Web 2.0 sharing tools, including Del.icio.us, Digg, Facebook, MySpace, and more

This interface is used for several of the databases we offer, primarily for periodicals and the Virtual Reference Library.
