Meet Your Users Where They “Are”
The key to connecting users to trustworthy, relevant content is ensuring that it appears in their workflow. Google is a comfortable, highly used pathway in most students’ study routine. Gale is a Google for Education Partner, which means after authentication, users can sign in to their library’s Gale content with their Google account credentials and share, save, and download articles to Google Drive, Docs, and Classroom.

Best of all, these innovative features are available from anywhere and on any device to support students as they develop key research skills:
