Embodied Labs offers interactive, first-person, immersive experiences accessible through virtual reality (VR) headsets and Web browsers. Embodied Labs focuses on understanding the needs and struggles of elderly patients with health conditions, and how these challenges affect caregivers. Unlike normal 360° videos, these interactive experiences aim to enhance empathy for the patient or give the user options for navigating the experience, depending on their interests. In addition, support materials allow faculty or health care managers to facilitate discussions about the experiences. The cost is not trivial, and to get the most immersive experience, Embodied Labs content needs to be viewed through a wired VR headset connected to a computer workstation.

Old Maps Online is a geoportal that provides access to 54 member institutions with more than 400,000 digitized historical maps. These maps are generally of high quality. The portal has both a map interface and an option for text-based searches. The search tools and the site overall are clear and easy to use, albeit somewhat limited. The sites and collections to which it supplies access often provide more sophisticated search, display, and analytical tools. It is currently managed by volunteers, including members of the staff of Klokan Technologies. It is a free resource and has continually added member institutions since its inception in 2012.

Gallup Analytics is a database of public opinion polls from three data sources: Gallup World Poll, Gallup U.S. Daily Tracking, and Gallup Poll Social Series (GPSS). These data are valuable because they are longitudinal, giving researchers insights into social trends over time (e.g., societal norms, political and economic circumstances, human lifestyle and well-being). Some subscription options include access to the underlying raw microdata and codebooks, and all include access to Gallup Brain, a repository of historic Gallup survey questions and responses. Gallup provides high-quality customer service, quickly responding to service interruptions and troubleshooting technical challenges as they arise.

Women's Studies Archive: Rare Titles from the American Antiquarian Society, 1820‐1922 provides literature by female authors on the American woman's experience in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is the third database in Gale's Women's Studies Archive, which is only one of a number of Gale Primary Sources collections. It contains more than one million pages of works from the American Antiquarian Society, all authored or edited by women. The works available here are drawn from the American Antiquarian Society's library collections and cover a wide variety of nonfiction subjects and fiction genres.This database is relatively easy to navigate, though the numerous available search and browse functions may prove confusing to some. Despite this relatively minor complication, this resource offers a broad and varied range of materials from female authors in the time period indicated above. This is not a subscription database; instead, it must be purchased. The price, based on full-time enrollment (FTE), can range from $22,080 to $27,600. The licensing agreement for this database is too long, overly detailed, and sometimes repetitive, but in most ways is average in its composition.

Native American Indians, 1645‐1819, a Readex database, describes itself as “every major book printed in North America about native peoples.” This resource contains more than 1,600 publications addressing the relationship between American Indians and European settlers. Its focus is on the British American colonies (after 1644) and roughly the first 40 years of the American republic (circa 1775‐1819), so it is not a comprehensive overview of the interactions between American Indians and Europeans in the U.S. Therefore, the above claim that this database contains “every major book printed” on this relationship is misleading. Nevertheless, it is an impressive collection of materials. The documents contain information (much of it primary sources) on 35 American Indian nations and other groupings. The database is not difficult to navigate. Unfortunately, no specific pricing is available. The licensing agreement for this database is long, overly complex, and often repetitive, but isn't especially unusual in its composition. Therefore, it presents only moderate reason for concern.

Enhanced Electronic Grammars Online (EEG) is a full-text linguistics database available on the De Gruyter platform. EEG offers the ability to conduct searches across dozens of comprehensive grammars describing rare and endangered world languages. Intended for use by researchers into general linguistics and linguistic typology, EEG would also be a good resource for undergraduate teaching. The review notes some issues with the search interface and metadata.

The GeoRef database, offered by EBSCO, was originally established by the American Geosciences Institute in 1966. This reference tool provides comprehensive access to more than 50 full-text international geoscience journals with mapping capabilities. Additional resources include environmental studies providing access to research and other literature, including maps, books, theses, journal articles, reports, and conference papers. Additionally, GeoRef is keyword searchable across millions of links to Web-based geoscience resources. Both the GeoRef database and the GeoRef Thesaurus are components of a larger database, GeoScienceWorld. The content of the GeoRef database grows at a rate of approximately 4.2% per year.

Specific topics include borders and migration, human rights violations, peacekeeping, climate change, terrorism, revolutions, and human trafficking. Specific events explored include the U.S.‐Mexico border, the Rwandan genocide, the Arab Spring, the Israeli‐Palestinian conflict, and climate migrants in Asia-Pacific. Multiple perspectives (personal, governmental, legal, contemporary, and retrospective) allow the comparison of issues in a variety of contexts and in an interdisciplinary manner.

The HistoryMakers Digital Archive represents the only massive attempt to record the Black experience since the Works Progress Administration's Slave Narratives of the 1930s. Featuring interviews with prominent African Americans, The HistoryMakers is a rich archive of history, knowledge, and the human experience. The platform contains a simple interface and several filtering options for exploring its vast content. Enhancements such as a full-screen option, embedding, and linking would make the Archive's platform more user-friendly. Competitively priced and unique in nature and scope, The HistoryMakers is a recommended purchase for libraries looking to expand their primary source offerings in African American studies.
