New Browse by Discipline in Academic OneFile

Gale has recently launched an exciting new feature in Academic OneFile: Browse by Discipline. Browse by Discipline provides a curriculum aligned browsing experience with smaller targeted results; publications for each discipline are hand-selected by subject matter experts to ensure topic results are related to the discipline. Gale has created these browse-able topics by combining our superior subject indexing with taxonomies from Cengage Learning textbooks to create the most relevant periodical content around research needs. In this webinar, we'll explore this new feature as well as other ways to work with large result sets. A continuing education certificate will be provided upon completion.
