Reviews"Though...this will appeal mostly to school and public libraries,
we think it will also be appreciated by undergraduate students beginning
ethnic studies research. It will certainly be useful to school,
academic, and public library reference librarians assisting these
students, and it will have strong appeal for subject buffs as well." "Now a single, integrated product, the Discovering Collection
offers work and research questions, providing context, analysis,
and interpretation. Best known for its extensive use of hyperlinking
within a controlled framework, the Discovering Collection
encourages investigation and discovery in a friendly, intuitive
electronic environment, according to the company." "Recommended." "...appropriate for elementary, middle school, high school,
and even undergraduate libraries without question, although we would
emphasize the primary through high school audience. Public libraries
can benefit as well, as Discovery Collection includes
the five core subject areas, making this an appropriate resource
for anyone beginning a research project." "Gale's Discovering Collection is a comprehensive
database that includes the content of their Discovering, Exploring,
Worldmark, and UXL series—four of their most popular CD-ROM
collections. The two thousand biographies of noteworthy individuals,
many with color or black-and-white photographs, comprise just a
small section of this large product. Like Biography Reference Bank,
a more detailed search screen allows users to identify biographies
by ethnicity. Since all of this database's content is original,
all of it is full text. The biographies are clearly written and
easily understandable." "Biographical profiles, reference sources, and search flexibility
make DISCovering Multicultural America a wonderful springboard
for ethnic studies research. Highly recommended for academic, public,
and school libraries, supporting ethnic/multicultural studies."
