Gale’s Access My Library
I found
Access My Library
while I was looking for an obituary from a New Mexico Newspaper that wasn’t available either through my usual sources or the Multnomah County website.
As the service, which is a part of the Gale Group,
Enabled by deep integration with search engines like Google, Yahoo!, and Ask.com, AccessMyLibrary opens up Gale’s large and ever-expanding vault of digital content to the world, giving you direct and easy access to those resources right from search engine results. Or, you can come directly to AccessMyLibrary.com and browse its nearly 30 million articles directly.
I did need to use my library card to access the article, but there were a lot of library choices, even in Portland. What I found most interesting was that I hadn’t been able to find the obituary I was looking for using the Gale Group search through my library’s website, but was able to find the obituary through Google and then access it using my library card. This could be very useful.
