Need help with our resources but the library is closed?

Niche Academy offers tutorials for many of our databases, eCollections, as well as other online services such as email and social media. These tutorials are available on-demand any time!

Our eReference Center has links to web-based reference tools available to our members on a 24/7 basis. The eReference Center is organized by subject. Included are both subscription databases, which require a GCLS library card number to access from home computers, as well as free sites which have been identified and recommended by our professional reference staff.

Full-text articles in magazines, journals, and newspapers, on most subjects, can be located using EBSCOhost.

Note: You can view a complete list of all the databases to which GCLS subscribes. Some subscription databases can only be accessed from within a GCLS library, due to special requirements by our database vendors. Databases accessed within a library do not require a user to input his or her GCLS borrower's card number
