[CASL-L] Virtual Collection I prefer

[Teri Padua]

We use the Gale Virtual Reference Library, and we have downloaded records
from them into Destiny - very easy.  We also teach the kids to access GVRL
from the Gale site.  Expensive, but worth it.  Every now and then Gale does
a package deal, which is how I got the collection started.  I add as I need
to fill holes.
