Gale Adds Massive Directory Data to DemographicsNow
by Barbara Quint
Sometimes you want to find overall information about people and/or businesses in a certain geographic area. Sometimes you want to find geographic areas based on specifics of overall information. Sometimes you just want to find specifics on particular people and/or businesses by name. Sometimes you want to find the names based on the specifics of general information. And, sometimes you want to do all of the above, gliding from statistics to directory data and back again. That can get tricky. But Gale, a division of Cengage Learning, just released an upgraded platform for its DemographicsNow service called DemographicsNow: Business & People that will do all of the above—if, that is, your local public or academic library subscribes to it.

Update on Political Fact-Check Websites
by Paula J. Hane
As I write this, the U.S. is in the midst of a hotly contested GOP presidential primary. The countdown to "Super Tuesday" is 6 days, and the countdown to the election is 251 days. Some days, I think I've just had enough election news. It's exhausting for a voting individual to examine all the claims and statements made by the candidates. How do we keep up with who said what and check to see if it contradicts their earlier statements or twists the facts/statistics? Hardly a day goes by that I don't see an article that questions or outright refutes something said in a speech or debate. But which sites can we believe?
