Powerspeak Languages by Gale


Here is another language database we are considering, http://www.gale.cengage.com/powerspeak/.

Please let us know what you think. We'll be making a decision about which language database to use some time in the end of February.

NOTE: If you'd like to have a trial run as an ACLD employee, please e-mail me at work to get access information.

Please suggest any databases you think ACLD should consider. Please note that although we are currently not purchasing new databases, we may consider replacing some in the future.

General Comments on ACLD Databases


Please feel free to make any comments about ACLD's databases...

Other Language Databases (suggestions welcomed)

ACLD is currently looking at getting a new language database. Auralog's Tell Me More is excellent for intermediate level work, but requires downloads, has limited languages and is not very user-friendly. We're looking at BYKI-Before You Know It, but many staff members have commented that it is too simple, and does not go very much in-dept with intermediate level work.

Please suggest any language databases you think we should consider before January 31, 2010.
