Find out more about consolidated searching

Gale Virtual Reference Library contains a collection of e-books on specific subjects (e.g. health, literature, history etc.) which are often are large multivolume sets.

Use Gale Virtual Reference Library to cross search just the reference books and encyclopaedias used by these Gale eResources:

  • Biography Resource Center
  • History Resource Center
  • Health & Wellness Resource Center
  • Literature Resource Center
  • Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center
  • Student Resource Center

You can search across all of the e-books by subject or keyword, or search within a particular one. Or you can read an entire e-book cover to cover.

Note - each individual eResource has unique features which are not covered by consolidated searching, so while consolidated searching can produce sufficient results, if you are not happy with the search results it is still worth going into an individual eResource on your subject to see what additional features you can utilise.
