Academic OneFile

Gale’s Academic OneFile is a multidisciplinary database that covers the sciences, political science, history, psychology, and business topics, among others. Directed to an undergraduate and graduate audience, the straightforward search interface provides the researcher with several search modes to easily access academic journals, magazines, news, books, and videos. Linking and cross-searching between Academic OneFile and other Gale products, such as GVRL, allows the searcher to access a vast array of reference works and resources from multiple sources. The inexperienced researcher may gain access to curated content through the Browse by discipline feature and TopicFinder. Integration of language translation and audio features opens up the communication of information to a wide audience. Competing products include those from EBSCO and ProQuest. This database is definitely worthy of consideration by academic libraries of all sizes.
