SD Library Lesson 4 - Gale Reserach

I found it easier to use the subject listing rather than the titles. It’s a simple step to find the subject then look at the materials on the subject. I looked under History and then explored the History of the Middle Ages… I would have been as tall as an average man at 5 feet 5 inches tall… of course since I’m over 25 my life would have expired.




When I used Middle Ages as a basic search it was nice to see the search broken down into subject matter on the left hand side. You were able to narrow the subject matter. It was easy to navigate through. I looked at the for the textiles of the Vikings. I also listened to the article. I noticed you could download as an MP3 format… see any high school aged kids doing that?


The articles are easy to print and cite. All in all its easy to navigate and to use.
