<div dir="ltr">We have both Gale and EBSCO and love them both for different reasons. EBSCO (Explora) is great for searching current information on a wide variety of topics. The advanced search feature is excellent for using keywords to find specific articles - better than Gale I would say. Not as pretty as Gale though. I really like my rep and he has been super helpful.
