The very popular Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL) has been upgraded to a sleeker and shinier interface. The functionality remains the same — with improvements, actually, to the overall searching experience. We hope you’ll find that the new interface will encourage you to stay longer, search deeper, and find what you need faster.
The new look is engaging and inviting… so take some time out to search in GVRL today!
