Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Information Resources from Gale's GREENR (Free, No Login Required)

About three week's ago, Gale announced that they were offering free content to libraries from GREENR (Global Reference on the Environment, Energy, and Natural Resources) about the Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill.

Both interactive and current, GREENR is a one-stop site providing current news, analysis, background information, video, primary source documents and statistics – for understanding the conditions in the Gulf of Mexico.

Here's an Idea of of What You'll Find:

+ More than 70 annotated web links guiding you to reliable sources on the open web
+ An in-depth expert overview
+ Primary sources of congressional hearings
+ More than 250 podcasts
+ More than 1,500 news articles
+ Case studies about disaster relief, offshore drilling and connections to other spills
+ Direct links to BP's response
+ More than 100 images
+ More than 70 videos

Thanks to Gale, you can now access the GREENR oil spill content available directly from ResourceShelf. Just click on the widget below and you're on the special GREENR site. Free access will be available until August 31, 2010.

This page has the info you need (registration required) to add the GREENR oil spill info widget to connect to the info from your library's web site, Facebook page, etc.

Again, thanks to everyone at Gale including Ron B. and the tech team at Gale HQ in Farmington Hills, MI. for making this trial available to the ResourceShelf community.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012
