Guided Tour
Gale Virtual Reference Library is a database of encyclopedias, almanacs, and specialized reference sources for multidisciplinary research. These reference materials once were accessible only in the library, but now you can access them online from the library or remotely 24/7. Because each library creates its own eBook collection, the content you see may vary if you use the database at different libraries (your school, your public library, or your office).

University Library's collection currently contains:

• African-American Years: Chronologies of American History and Experience, 2003
• Encyclopedia of Business and Finance, 2v, 2001
• Encyclopedia of Sociology, 2nd ed., 5v, 2000
• Environmental Encyclopedia, 3rd ed., 2v, 2003
• Gale E-Commerce Sourcebook, 2v, 2003
• International Encyclopedia of Marriage and Family, 2nd ed., 4v, 2003
• New Catholic Encyclopedia, 2nd ed., 15v, 2003

The Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), established in 1962, is an integral part of the infrastructure of social science research. ICPSR maintains and provides access to a vast archive of social science data for research and instruction, and offers training in quantitative methods to facilitate effective data use. To ensure that data resources are available to future generations of scholars, ICPSR preserves data, migrating them to new storage media as changes in technology warrant. In addition, ICPSR provides user support to assist researchers in identifying relevant data for analysis and in conducting their research projects.
