The Gale Directory of Databases (GDD) contains detailed information on more than 9,800 databases and database products, as well as online services, database vendors and database distributors.
It is published in two volumes that are updated every six months.
- Volume 1
profiles more than 5,300 online databases.- Volume 2
contains information on CD-ROM, Diskette, hand-held, magnetic tape, and batch access database products.
Each volume contains three descriptive sections and three indices:
Online Databases covers over 5,300 databases, including 226 new databases and 269 defunct databases. Database Producers lists contact information for the more than 2,230 organizations listed in the Online Databases. Online Services lists contact information for more than 825 database vendors and distributors profiled in Online Databases.
Geographic Index lists alphabetically (by country headings) both database producers and online services. Subject Index classifies the databases by over 1,800 subject terms. Master Index is an alphabetical listing of all databases and organizations covered in the three descriptive sections.
The GDD is available on diskette/magnetic tape, online, CD-ROM, or mailing labels.
