Here’s a 3 minute video that talks about the iCONN login options when you use a computer outside a library or school.

March is Women’s History Month, and in honor of that fact Gale has compiled some online resources available at no charge. The resources are available to all at:

I will see about getting the above link on iCONN’s web site shortly; it likely will replace the present link to “Biography Resource Center: African Americans” as Black History Month will end after tomorrow. I am searching for other such resources from iCONN’s other database vendors and will report on any that I find.
