Good News! In an effort to further improve the user experience by delivering the most relevant articles among the first search results returned, we have enabled the default sort to Relevance for all InfoTrac products. Results will be ordered by relevance, and because currency is an important element of periodical content, the determination of relevance will contain a significant boost for recency. Users still have the ability to toggle and view by newest/oldest date if they choose during their research session.
Additionally, Gale has retired the “My Account” feature in InfoTrac products including PowerSearch, in favor of Google and Microsoft 365 collaboration tools our users are already employing. This change will provide one simple, seamless login experience, further enabling users to access Gale content anytime, anywhere, and from any device.
After authentication into Gale products:
- Google users can easily share and download articles—including highlights and notes—using Google Apps for Education tools like Drive and Docs.
- Microsoft users can store, sync, and share files in the cloud by downloading Gale content to their OneDrive account— allowing content to easily transfer for use in other Microsoft tools like OneNote.
