Homework Help and E-Reference from the Gale Virtual Reference Library
McKinney Public Library owns a growing collection of electronic books geared to homework help and curriculum support for upper elementary through community college students. The e-books, from the Gale Virtual Reference Library, present the same information as their print counterparts, but offer numerous online features.
The e-books can be searched at the same time, or individually. They can be accessed at the library, or remotely over the Internet 24/7. Results can be emailed, printed, or downloaded, as well as translated into any of eight languages. In addition, citations to any article can be generated in MLA (Modern Language Association) or APA (American Psychological Association) format.
