Enhance the learning experience with the right technological solutions

It’s imperative to seamlessly connect electronic resources, promote digital integration, and access electronic resource management systems (ERMS) more efficiently—it’s why many institutions strive for a single sign-on (SSO) platform approach. The importance of building an environment where students, patrons, and peers can communicate in the library, the classroom, and remotely with educators and librarians has never been greater. Digitalisation fosters a more collaborative environment and increases efficiency in how materials are prepared and distributed. Gale offers comprehensive technology and solutions to enhance the learning experience by integrating with everything from learning management systems (LMS integration) to ERMS to your integrated library services (ILS) platform, and more.

  • LMS INTEGRATION

    Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI)

    Gale’s LTI 1.0 certification means institutions can access Gale resources within any learning management system (LMS) that supports LTI 1.0. Incorporating Gale resources into an LMS expands access and increases student discovery from within the classroom. Optimized integration with popular platforms and providers, like Canvas and Schoology, allows for the embedding of links or documents directly into assignments, discussions, and more. Gale resources are also compatible with Moodle and Blackboard. 

    Educators can adopt specific e-resources and content to support their course curriculum, while reducing the steps involved in incorporating Gale content into a course. The permalinks provide reliable access for the entire class and eliminate the need for students to authenticate. This creates a seamless workflow experience for users.

    Google Scholar

    Gale makes it easy for academic researchers to access its scholarly content anytime, anywhere. Through a partnership with Google Scholar, Gale has integrated Google Campus Activated Subscriber Access (CASA) into its Gale Academic OneFile, Gale OneFile: Health and Medicine, Gale OneFile: Informe Académico, and Gale Literature Resource Center periodical databases, ensuring users seamlessly experience uninterrupted access to its authoritative content, from any off-campus location or device.

    Google CASA is an enhanced authentication service that builds upon Google Scholar’s Subscriber Links service. When users log in to Google Scholar on campus, they create an affiliation that follows them off campus. This allows for seamless access to their library’s licensed e-resources from any off-campus location for up to thirty days.
