<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=832182419-15032010>As I believe most of
you know, the State Library hosted a meeting with Gale representatives and
academic librarians in late January to discuss issues and problems with the Gale
products that are now licensed for the libraries in Oregon by the State Library.
Gale sent an action plan to us several weeks ago and last week sent a progress
report on that action plan. I am attaching that document for you. I also wanted
to let you know that at the last Statewide Database Licensing Committee meeting
an ad hoc committee was formed to develop a list of journals the academic
library community would like to see added to the Gale databases. Once that list
is compiled we will give it to Gale and they will be working to add those
titles. If there is someone else on your library staff who should have
this information please feel free to forward it. And, please let me know if you
have questions or concerns.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
