Gale is an advocate for libraries - Gale is keen on promoting the library as a vital part of its community; library advocacy has been a part of our past as much as it is a part of our present and future. This is demonstrated through AccessMyLibrary, our mission to double usage, our participation in local and federal government to protect libraries, and the millions of dollars of grants and sponsorships given to deserving libraries each year.

Gale enhances library relevance by knowing the user, inside and out. Gale's mission is to double your usage in the next 12 months and we'll help you track it in innovative ways. Our new usage system allows you to get more robust usage statistics on demand. Reports will show you what patrons are searching for, when, and from where, and whether or not your statistics are higher or lower than libraries of a similar composition. This deep understanding of the user through analytics, and the thousands of hours Gale spent interviewing users, allows us to evolve into a usage-driven company. Whether the changes we are making to interfaces, the new products we are developing, or the tools we create to drive usage - Gale's primary focus is ensuring user satisfaction.

Gale is a technology leader - Evolving the way our content is provided to users helps libraries accomplish their mission. Gale's new PowerSearch platform, with a new website-like interface, allows for full customization at the user level and all the latest and greatest Web 2.9 functionality. The interface is focused on "stickiness," transforming library databases from research destinations into experiences that users will rely on daily for their information. Our products are about building community.

Gale builds upon our legacy - Gale has experience - over 50 years - providing high quality information to library users, we are the only vendor that publishes our own award-winning content - committing ourselves to libraries to help them transform the library into a portal of authoritative content. We have a network of more than 100,000 esteemed authors that are able to create content for us when users demand it - the same content that shapes Dartmouth award-winning titles like New Catholic Encyclopedia and the Encyclopaedia Judaica.

Gale is a content leader - whether the hundreds of award-winning publications (more than any other publisher, even Oxford University Press, which has been around for more than 200 years) or the fact that Gale has aggregated more peer-reviewed journals without an embargo than any other vendor, Gale far surpasses EBSCO and ProQuest when it comes to quality content that students and patrons need. EBSCO is no longer the academic journal master - Gale has more.
