LISTSERV 16.5 - TLA-L Archives

Good morning -

As of August 12th, the Tennessee Electronic Library (TEL) will no longer provide statewide access to Gale Literature Resource Center database. This includes access to Gale Literary Sources, Twayne's Authors Series and the Scribner Writer Series. The contract for Gale Literature Resource Center was up for renewal at the end of 2020 but with declining usage and the need for immediate budget tightening, TEL is terminating the contract early.

TEL will still have literature coverage through other databases including Books and Authors, LitFinder and through journals available through Gale General OneFile, Gale Academic OneFile, Gale in Context: Middle School and Gale in Context: High School.

Thank you for your support of TEL. TEL will continue to provide access to its core research areas including academic databases, encyclopedias, test prep resources, TN records and news resources. We are actively assessing our budget and usage to continue to provide Tennesseans with online access to the best materials.

If Gale Literature Resource Center is essential to your school, library or university, please contact your Gale sales rep or Hilary Fox at [log in to unmask].

Please let me know if you have any questions and concerns.

Thanks,

Andrea
