Getting the most from Subject Databases

Supporting materials

Gale Databases

The Gale database collection is made up of a family of individual, often subject specific, databases that between them make up an extensive multi-disciplinary collection of primary and secondary sources.  They include journal articles, newspaper articles, eBooks, videos, images and reference materials such as encyclopaedias and dictionaries.

Each of the databases can be searched alone but there are two key search interfaces that allow you to cross-search the collection.  These are

  • Gale Power Search 
  • Gale Research Complete

You can access the Gale interfaces from the Links below.

If you want to see the full range of individual Gale databases, please look at the Databases A-Z list.
