Accessing the Gale Databases
The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners requires that a full time, certified School Librarian be employed in order for a school to post direct links to the Gale Databases on a school supported website. The Librarian at the Somerset Middle School has retired and the position has not been filled. In compliance with the MBLC regulations, the direct links have been removed.
You can use any valid library card from any library in the Sails Library Network to access the Gale Databases. Go to the online resources section of the library's website. Click on the appropriate button and follow the instructions. You will need to have your library card available to type in your card number.
Here are the links to the Somerset Public Library's and the Swansea Public Library's online tools webpage.
