Why General OneFile
Today’s more sophisticated public library users want to research the same way they use the Internet: to search, “glean,” or filter information to get the best content for them to use.1 And they want to do this in bursts, without spending a lot of time in a single resource.
Meanwhile, 54% of patrons research topics that interest them, and the second most reported reason patrons have increased their library usage in the last five years is “to do research and use reference materials.” 2 That’s a whole lot more than simply borrowing books and using computers!
Now more than ever patrons want to be directed to specific information.1 Gale General OneFile has the relevant content, intuitive searching, and variety of topics to meet this demand with ease.
