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

[Traci Taylor]

Wade,

Does this mean that we need to create local electronic collections for the Gale databases that aren't in the Alma CZ?

Thanks,
Traci

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.

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...
