CVHS Library now offers access to Gale in Context: Biography.
Biographical research just got better for CVHS students!
Gale In Context: Biography offers authoritative reference content covering historically significant people to present-day changemakers. It is continuously updated to ensure students have access to the very latest information.
For those who remember the (International) Dictionary of National Biography, this is the database has exclusive rights to that content. The editorial group for the DNB continues to research and create entries in this contemporary e-resource.
Access
Students, teachers and staff can access the database through the Library's Database A-Z List. Access is now offered via Google Single Sign-on (SSO).
Navigation: Databases A-Z
Teachers, please do not bookmark library databases. Instead, guide students to access the library homepage, find the Database A-Z list and select a database. This is not only an essential media and information literacy skill that all students need to learn before college, but it is also important as libraries regularly update links to keep our users connected. The publishing and cybersecurity industries change rapidly. Providing durable digital access is a core e-resource management service that modern libraries provide their communities. Please take advantage of it!
Guide students to the Database A-Z list.
Make an appointment with Ms. Stambaugh if you would like training or would like her to come to one of your classes.
Subject Guides
In the next few weeks, Ms. Stambaugh will update the library subject guides on the library website to integrate Gale in Context: Biography into the guides.
Subject guides help students and teachers find the best databases available to them in their discipline.
