We publish award-winning and critically reviewed books, eBooks, online databases, and microfilm and our content is written by highly qualified topic experts. Our information is used by students and consumers in their libraries, schools and on the Internet. Our reference content is known for its accuracy and authority and is used daily to address all types of information needs – from homework help to health questions to business profiles.

The Gale Group, Inc. is committed to ensuring that all information searchers have access to authoritative content. One way we are helping libraries publicize the wealth of resources they make available to their patrons at no cost is via our flagship library advocacy product, www.AccessMyLibrary.com. AccessMyLibrary was developed so that information searchers can view all of the Gale resources their libraries have licensed on their behalf. 

To find additional authoritative information on many thousands of topics, visit your school or public library homepage and access their databases, which are available 24/7 to authorized users. Accessing the databases is simple, generally with a  user name and password provided by your school or your public library card number. If you find that you need even more information on social issues, contact your school or public library to see if they have Gale's award-winning Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center.
