Linking to Fondren Resources: Gale databases

Gale databases include the Gale Virtual Reference Library, Opposing Viewpoints, and Gale NewsVault

For Opposing Viewpoints, you will simply be able to copy the very long URL from your navigation bar.

Please note, that (unlike most of the other providers, Gale has embedded proxy information into the stable URL they provide. You will not need to include the "proxy prefix" but can use this URL as given.

For Gale Virtual Reference Library titles, click on Citation tools and look for the URL in the citation.  This will be your link.

Please note, that (unlike most of the other providers, Gale has embedded proxy information into the stable URL they provide. You will not need to include the "proxy prefix" but can use this URL as given.

Gale Newsvault (historic newspapers) do not seem to permit direct linking.

It is possible to build "widgets" or search boxes to Gale resources to embed in your pages.

See the list of available sites here.

As this requires:

1. knowing the Fondren Library userID
2. how to display and amend the code (so that the Rice Proxy prefix can be added)

please contact Kerry for help with your first 'widget'
