The new year is young but it’s already brought a lot of changes to the City Tech Library! We’re very excited about one such change in particular:

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!
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact Prof. Allie Verbovetskaya at averbovetskaya@citytech.cuny.edu.

If you use any of the Wilson databases (e.g., Education Full Text, General Science Full Text, etc.), you’ll be surprised to find that they now look different:

That’s because these databases are now owned by EBSCO. All of the content is the same but the interface has changed.
So how does this affect you? Well, if we did our part right, this should not affect your research in any way! You will only need to update your bookmarks and transfer your “My WilsonWeb” information to a new “My EBSCOhost” account by February 1, 2012. (For more information about “My EBSCOhost,” please visit support.ebscohost.com.) Otherwise, all of the functionality will remain the same and it will be business as usual.
If you run into any issues, please do not hesitate to contact Prof. Allie Verbovetskaya at averbovetskaya@citytech.cuny.edu.
