Gale, part of Cengage Learning, has announced the launch of InterLink, a new technology that Gale Interlinkshould connect current articles from newspapers, magazines, and journals with contextual reference content found within ebooks on Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL), Gale’s ebook platform. InterLink document-level hyperlinking is available free across all Gale InfoTrac periodical products, with plans to incorporate the technology into other resources. InterLink aims to enable a robust research experience for users; it hopes help libraries drive usage of their ebook collections. InterLink provides an improved cross-search experience by leveraging Gale’s subject indexing and results-ranking algorithms to deliver hyperlinked information within the context of what the user is already reading, ensuring more relevant discovery. Unlike traditional web search engines, where clicking on a link can take research in a completely new direction, InterLink will allow users to continue their search—expanding and narrowing options—and keeps searchers within the accredited and trusted resources of the library’s holdings. For more information, visit the Interlink website.
