Any further word on accessing the Gale site? I have tried all the suggested methods but still can't access it. I'm in the UK.

Many thanks,
Carole

Hi Carole
The free trial access seems to be over. In the UK you may be able to access it from a local library, and definately if you are a member of a University library you will have access to it.

Best wishes
Lesley

Have just been reading about the project, which looks to be completed by March. Without knowing for sure, it looks as if they've been scanning more titles which is exciting. If you look at the project plan at the bottom of the screen, page 17 of the PDF looks interesting!
