FEATURED REVIEW
This product is extremely easy to use—the basic search can be used with no help documentation whatsoever, the results are very fast, and it is clear from the results and the use of the individual documents that more information, limitations, and facets are available to a student or researcher who wants to go further. . . If you only have purchase power for one LGBTQ product this year, this should be the product you buy.
