Do Academic OneFile or General OneFile sometimes feel just too big? They're great resources but a search can bring back so many results that you spend valuable time just sifting through them.
Luckily, Gale has broken down these powerhouses into 27 separate Collections that can be searched independently. The
InfoTrac Collections (what used to be termed PowerPacks) span the continuum from fine arts to popular magazines to home improvement and psychology. You can search them individually and, if there's a particular
topic that would interest your patrons, you can embed a link to it on your website.
Here are those Collections with a URL that will allow anyone in Michigan to access the resources. If the patron is a Michigan resident who happens to be outside of the state they will be prompted for their driver's
license/ID card or MeLCat-participating library barcode. Happy searching!
