"This database offers perspective and insight into current world events. The layout is appealing, and the site is easy to navigate. Though the database would be especially useful for students, it would also be valuable for those who travel for business, those who want to keep in touch with current news from other countries, and those who just want to expand their knowledge of global current events."

Global Issues in Context is an entirely new kind of database for Gale, one that will surely be imitated by other content providers. Powerful advanced searching allows the researcher to limit by a wide range of fields, including title, subject, keyword, publication title, document and content type, date, format and lexile level, an especially useful tool for locating content for struggling readers. Attractive, easy to use, interactive and rich in Gale?s deep content holdings, this database sets a new standard for interface design and is highly recommended for high school, public and college libraries.

"As if Gale hasn't already given us enough fun stuff, soon we'll be able to play with Global Issues in Context, a new resource that will supply 'global news and perspectives on issues and events of international importance.' Because its content stems from 400 full-text news sources, magazines, and scholarly journals and it promises videos, podcasts, and interactive maps, you might even forget to take your lunch break."
