"At present few online resources focus on Canadian subject matter and content with the promise of audio, video, interactive maps, image maps, and global news feeds to enhance the experience. Gale Canada in Context (formerly, Student Resource Centre: Canadian Edition) attempts to bridge that gap and serve those seeking material that cannot presently be found through any one particular database."— Choice
