360 KB: Gale Databases: Titles Will Be Removed -- May 2025
What is happening to the Gale databases?
ProQuest currently has title-level information for some of the databases from provider Gale in the Knowledgebase. The provider Gale has decided that these databases will no longer be updated. Therefore, the databases from Gale will be retired or replaced with an alternative database, as you can see in the table
| Database Name | Database Code | Alternative Database Name | Alternative Database Code |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twayne Authors Series | ECD | Gale Literature: Twaynes Author Series | O1D |
| Literature Resource Center - Scribner Writers Module | O48 | Gale Literature: Scribner Writer Series | O1N |
| Literature Resource Center - Twayne's Authors Module | O42 | Gale Literature: Twaynes Author Series | O1D |
The databases from the provider Gale is no longer being updated. In order to maintain accurate and authoritative provider metadata (based on our Knowledgebase collection policy), all titles will be removed from the Gale databases and the databases will be hidden in the Knowledgebase on May 28, 2025. Those databases will become zero-titles databases, and no future subscriptions will be possible.
