I checked out the Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine. It would be a nice option for patrons who are looking for online health information. When I used the index, there was a nice overview available as well as additional health topics contained entries related to my health topic, jaundice.
Using the basic search feature, I found information on the Mayan calendar. There were only three entries available, but they all contained the information I wanted. The read-to-me option on the article had a pleasant voice. She was easier to listen to than some automated voices I have heard.
The option I appreciated most was the ability to download the article rather than having to email it to myself or print it out.

Good observations, Learning Librarian. It's great to have options for every individual preference! We think this collection adds to your print reference collection, and it's accessible from home. So tell me, will the world end in 2012? :)
