[Libs-Or] Reminder about changes to Gale/Cengage databases in statewide contract

[Arlene Weible]

As we announced on August 1st, libraries that participate in the Statewide Database Licensing Program (SDLP) now have access the following new resources from Gale/Cengage:

*National Geographic Kids- includes access to recent National Geographic articles, books, and images in a kid-friendly interface

*Business Insights: Global- (replaces Business Insights: Essentials) This database includes all the data from Essentials along with expanded international business data and reports.

Please note that Business Insights: Essentials has been removed from the Gale common menu; please update the direct links from your web site, if you have them.

*Gale Virtual Reference Library (GVRL) new content- A complete list<http://www.oregon.gov/osl/LD/Pages/technology/sdlp/GVRLtitles.aspx> of all the content available from the Oregon contract is available.

To access these new resources, just connect to the Oregon Gale Support Portal for public/tribal<http://galesupport.com/oregon/> or academic libraries<http://galesupport.com/oregonacad/>. These sites will have linking information, logos, and widgets for libraries to add to their web sites. MARC records for the new GVRL content are also available from these sites.

Look for announcements soon about upcoming webinars introducing these new resources, and feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.
