Gale Launches Librareo for LIS Students

Gale recently announced Librareo, a free Web-based community that supports the future of libraries and librarianship by providing students enrolled in library and information studies (LIS) programs with free access to the professional resources they’ll rely upon following graduation.

LIS students in the U.S. and Canada who sign up for Librareo will get free, unlimited access to the most-requested online Gale resources throughout their library school career, such as Academic One-File, Gale Virtual Reference Library—including access to 115 e-books commonly used in libraries today, Powerspeak Languages and several In Context products, among others. LIS students will also have access to the Librareo message board and forum, operated by library thought-leaders and LIS faculty, giving them the opportunity to make contacts and solicit timely advice and best practices from experts. Students can gain access to all of the great resources housed on Librareo without any fees or commitments—they only need to register on the Librareo site.
