During the past 2 weeks, the first beta release offering a new version of the Wayback Machine, provided by the Internet Archive, has gone live on the web. It offers web researchers several new features (with more to come) and a clean, no-nonsense user interface. Wayback is an essential internet research tool and should be one of the first resources discussed when teaching basic web-based research skills.

Update on Gale—Mobile, Global, and In Context

by Paula J. Hane
|
|
At the recent ALA Midwinter meeting, I caught up with Nader Qaimari, senior vice president of marketing at Cengage Learning, to talk about recent developments at Gale and get a peek at some forthcoming products. Gale continues to be excited about the streamlined company structure implemented last summer—the integration of Gale and Cengage. Qaimari says it lets the company make content connections and help libraries serve as the conduit to information and textbooks. Other news he was eager to discuss included the company's mobile initiatives, its new Gale World Scholar product line, enhancements to PowerSearch, new administrative tools, and ongoing work on the In Context products.
