High School Resources
When you have a paper, project, or presentation to complete, the hardest part is figuring out where to start. Student Resources In Context simplifies your search for information by bringing together hundreds of thousands of images, videos, and audio selections into one easy-to-use database. While online browsers can serve up unreliable or incomplete results, this database lets you explore vetted primary sources, biographies, critical essays, and other materials in many formats— giving you deeper context to high-interest topics.
Middle School Resources
Sometimes you need to research a subject that is very complex and a more simple version of topic is called for. These resources are vetted primary sources, biographies, and other materials just like the high school resources, but are slightly more succinct in their explanation.
Reference books like encyclopedias and text books give you succinct, reliable information, but can often be difficult to access and use. Online reference sites can often be unreliable. With Gale's reference e-books you have the reliability of a reference book with the accessibility and convenience of an online encyclopedia.
