Records contain location information that can be used to connect users to resources of interest. This database can be a bridge between the controlled periodical indexes and chaos that is the World Wide Web. Since there has been an evaluative process conducted prior to adding a particular site to this database, users may be able to be more comfortable starting here that just leaping out into the Web. Most contain the full text of the publication. Major U.S. national and regional papers as well as international newspapers and wire services are included.
Coverage varies from paper to paper.
Georgia Government Publications contains scanned images of public documents of departments or agencies within the Georgia State Government. Coverage encompasses audit reports, budget documents, monographs, newsletters, periodicals and serials from agencies including agriculture, arts, community affairs, courts, education, human resources, industry and trade, labor, legislature, natural resources, and recreation. The database contains over 5000 documents published from 1994 to the present. Some of these images are somewhat rough and at times are unclear or have very small print but there is an ongoing effort to improve the quality of these images. The U.S. Industry Module integrates some 30 print volumes of Gale's business reference works and contains listings for some 200,000 U.S. companies, extensive essays for 54 industrial categories.
