Global Issues in Context

A new resource has appeared on the list of Gale resources Global Issues in Context. Click on Gale, and it is at the bottom of the list. Randi and I are not sure why it's there, or how long it will remain. We presume it is a database that Minitex is previewing. Meanwhile, use it if you have any questions regarding global issues, or if you just want to take a look at it. Below is their description:

"Global Issues in Context offers international viewpoints on a broad spectrum of global issues, topics, and current events. Featured are hundreds of continuously updated issue and country portals that bring together a variety of specially selected, highly relevant sources for analysis of social, political, military, economic, environmental, health, and cultural issues. Each of these gateway pages includes an overview, unique "perspectives" articles written by local experts, reference, periodical, primary source and statistical information. Rich multimedia - including podcasts, video, and interactive graphs - enhance each portal. Use Browse Issues and Topics, Country Finder, Basic Search or Advanced Search to explore the database."
