<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Kirsti:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, I looked up all of those titles in our LitFinder subscription and none of them were full-text. And, a couple of them didn’t show up in LitFinder at all (Radiance Like Wind or Water, Little Duke).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And, confusingly, it provides a link that says Online Access at SVC only to find something that looks like a record in Primo, but we don’t really have the full text to it.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, I’m thinking now that I’m glad I didn’t activate the Gale databases in Alma…<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi folks,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We recently ran across a situation with Gale Literature: Litfinder (part of the statewide Gale package brokered by the State Library) and I'm trying to figure out if the problem is just us or if it's a
global issue.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We've activated the CZ collection Gale Literature: Litfinder, which contains 12,000+ portfolio records for (supposedly) full-text works of literature.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">When I retrieve a Litfinder title in Primo and try to click through, I get taken to the Gale Literature: Litfinder search page, not the full-text item.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><img width="586" height="362" style="width:6.1041in;height:3.7708in" id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image003.jpg@01D86A12.3E540940"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If I do a "Works Search" for the title, I get a brief record that either says "Citation Only" or "Abstract Only" or no results<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">My suspicion, based on past experience with Gale, is that Gale isn't providing accurate metadata for this product to any third party platform, and they don’t actually have the full-text literary works they
say they have. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">But there's also a chance that our accounts are messed up on the Gale side and we're not seeing the content we're supposed to.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If your library has the statewide Gale package, and you've activated the Gale Literature: Litfinder electronic collection in Alma-Primo, would you mind seeing what happens when you search Primo for any
of the following titles? Can you actually connect to full-text?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
