In an effort to better connect your library’s resources to the user workflow, we are pleased to announce the integration of Google Apps for Education into our Gale In Context suite of products. Now available is the ability for researchers to seamlessly login using their Google Account credentials and to easily download and share articles using tools like Drive and Docs.
As a Google for Education Partner,* Gale continues to evolve to meet the needs of today’s researchers by delivering the educational technology, instructional tools and content to help all users be more successful in school, work and life.
What’s New
Through this partnership, Gale’s In Context suite of resources now features:
- Seamless User Login: users can login to their Gale In Context resource using their Google Account credentials
