Challenge # 3

For this challenge I emailed an article and the citation (seperately)...then I translated it into Spanish (love the disclaimer for accuracy issues and that it states this isn't a substitution for a real human being!!). Searching for "Gale Virtual Reference Library" by series in the internal Polaris gives a nice alphabetical listing of the publications which is nice if you want to browse the titles. In the public catalog I really like the citation tools and even printed out a few articles for my next weeks assignment for school! There wasn't really any difference between the paper and computer except that if the computer is slow one day the paper may be quicker...lol. That's another title I don't have to buy as long as we continue to get updates in GVRL!! I just used GVRL this past Sunday with a girl looking for a bio on Abraham Lincolm and she needed a database resource. GVRL is well worth the $$.
