GVRL, Gale Virtual Reference Library, offers access to the highest-quality reference books from more than 200 publishers. It brings all of these books under one umbrella so you can navigate to just one database and find scholarly material on everything from bowling to bioethics, and from fashion to feminism. Articles vary in length from one to over 20 pages. All are signed and have “for further reading” lists at the end. Here is a sample of some recently purchased books:

• The Sage Deaf Studies Encyclopedia
• Sage Handbook of Digital Journalism
• Encyclopedia of Islam and the Muslim World
• Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography

You can find a link to Gale Virtual Reference Library in the A-Z list of databases by selecting "G." You can also search for individual titles in the library catalog. Or, if you choose to begin your search in the database itself, you can limit your search to any one of our more than 80 unique titles by choosing "publication title" in the drop-down menu to the right of the search boxes.
