From: Ian Singer <[log in to unmask]> Date: Fri, 4 Mar 2016 08:44:29 -0500 Heather - I am rather confident you are correct. While I would encourage you to check with Gale, from my days as publisher of Library Journal and School Library Journal, as a licensor of content to Gale, I know there was a "reset" and Gale was transparent with me about the issues. That's all I'll say, because though I am now with Credo and a "competitor" of sorts, while at LJ/SLJ Gale was a solid partner to those magazines and the mission, and the people that I worked with were very, very decent. Hope this helps, Ian -- Ian Singer Chief Content Officer Credo [log in to unmask] 617-292-6160 (direct) 917-886-0718 (mobile) 617-426-3103 (fax) On Thu, Mar 3, 2016 at 10:14 AM, LIBLICENSE <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > From: NSLA Consortium <[log in to unmask]> > Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2016 01:52:54 +0000 > > Hi > > NSLA Consortium members subscribe to a number GALE products, I will > see if they have experience a similar drop off. > > Regards > > Libby > > Libby Cass > Assistant Director | NSLA eResources Consortium > National Library of Australia > e: [log in to unmask] > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Mark Hemhauser <[log in to unmask]> > Date: Wed, 2 Mar 2016 14:57:17 -0800 > > Many of our Gale databases have seen a decline in use between 2012 and > 2015, but some have seen an increase. > > Mark Hemhauser > Head of Acquisitions, The Library > 250 Moffitt Library, MC 6000 > University of California, Berkeley > Berkeley, CA 94720-6000 > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Heather Reid <[log in to unmask]> > Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2016 07:38:50 -0500 > > Hi: > > We are in the process of assembling usage statistics for our online > databases for the period 2012 to present.
