Gale is revamping many of its databases to bring more visual consistency across platforms, improve accessibility, and ensure that content displays well on mobile devices. The updates will affect the In Context line of products, including Student Resources in Context; InfoTrac databases like Expanded Academic ASAP; and Gale Virtual Reference Library. The updates will happen automatically on April 2nd, and you can see a preview of them now – just look for the “New Experience” banner in most Gale databases.
Search facets will be moved to the right of the screen to highlight content in response to Gale research showing that users scan a page left to right. High contrast banners and buttons will improve accessibility of the databases for those with low vision. And the site is responsively designed to display on multiple screen sizes.
