Databases for consideration?

C.L. passed on to me a flyer of some of Gale's offerings, and a couple caught my attention. What do you think of these?

Gale Legal Forms: Standard legal tasks can become less daunting, thanks, in part, to Gale LegalForms. This online resource delivers everything do-it-yourselfers need to take charge of their legal affairs with confidence. Gale LegalForms offers an easy-to-use, step-by-step approach to addressing basic legal matters. Simply locate the form that’s needed by using any of the links found on the home page and download the specific form. Then, enter all relevant information and print it. Completed forms also can be saved to a computer’s hard drive or e-mailed to a home address. The information entered is held in absolute privacy.

Testing and education reference center: Whether it's preparing admission materials or getting a heads-up on preparatory tests, the Testing & Education Reference Center (TERC) is Gale's online tool designed to help students — from high school to graduate school to specialty school — prepare to make their further education decisions easier. Loaded with information on colleges, technical schools and executive programs, practice entrance, certification and professional license exams that show students what to expect and how to prepare to get to — and excel at — the next level. TERC also helps interested scholars prepare financially for their endeavor by identifying financial aid and other monetary sources available to them and offers tips on how to secure these available funds. Students and seasoned professionals TERC with Careers helps users identify a career path with a career assessment test and key information on more than 1,100 occupations. Plus, the Resumé Builder and Virtual Careers Library makes this perfect for job seekers by providing specific examples and tips for the job search.

  1. Gale Legal Forms sounds great if they also carry NJ state forms.
    TERC sounds good as well.

  2. Definitely sounds good if NJ forms are available because of the demand for forms of various types. Wouldn't it be great to have exams and test prep available in a database with, hopefully, the latest information always available?
