Gale Virtual Reference Library

For this exercise, I chose the publication Dictionary of American History, 2003. Within this first page, you can choose which volume you want. In the table of contents, you can choose a topic on anything from adoption to Mount St. Helens. When I click on Mount St. Helens, it shows me which volume and page number where the search is located and great information about my topic.
I searched Mount St. Helens at the top search bar and found many articles. This "Listen" feature is pretty neat, although some of the words were mispronounced.

  1. Thanks for your post, Hannah. You found out a lot about Mt. St. Helens! The listen feature is, of course, a "robot," so some of the words are not pronounced correctly. Still, we think it's better than no Listen feature at all. Thanks for trying this resource.
