[Wactclc-primo] the new WA state GALE package...?

[Guidry, Wade]

Good question, Shireen.

There's a mix of pre-existing and new Gale customers among our group, so I can't speak with full authority, so others should chime in here on their experience so far. Especially those new to Gale via the WSL contract. Or those with previously subscribed Gale packages that have joined the WSL contract.


The list of Gale resources on the WSL, as per Gale Resources for Washington - Gale Pages<https://www.galepages.com/wa2021>, includes:

Business Insights: Global
Gale Business: Entrepreneurship
Gale Academic OneFile & Gale OneFile Collections
Gale General OneFile & Gale OneFile Collections
Gale eBooks
Gale Health and Wellness
Gale In Context: Elementary
Gale In Context: College
Gale In Context: Global Issues
Gale In Context: High School
Gale In Context: Middle School
Gale Literature: LitFinder
Gale OneFile: Educator's Reference Complete
Gale OneFile: Informe Académico
Gale OneFile: News

The collections above that are available in the Alma CZ for activation include:

Gale Academic OneFile*
Gale General OneFile
Gale In Context: College
Gale In Context: High School
Gale OneFile: Educator's Reference Complete
Gale OneFile: Informe Academico
Gale OneFile: News

*Important note on Academic OneFile: Gale Academic OneFIle is currently undergoing reconstruction in the Alma CZ, so if you do not already have it activated for your institution, do *not* activate it until that reconstruction is concluded. I will post to the lists once that collection becomes available again.

Subject: [Wactclc-primo] the new WA state GALE package...?

colleagues,

we at seattle colleges are trying to launch our new Gale package, the one provided thru the state consortium.


  1.  has anyone successfully done this yet?
  2.  is there a matching package in the Alma Community Zone?
  3.  any glitches or issues we should know about before trying to activate titles?

thanks for any tips...
