Gale Accelerate is the culmination of a lot of thinking at Gale about how we could help you adapt to the dramatic shifts in teaching, learning and research we have all witnessed over the past year. Firstly, we thought about your library budget and the pressures placed upon it; secondly, how we could support the different forms of teaching and learning that learners now expect.
In answer to these questions, we devised the Gale Accelerate programme. It provides you with instant access to your wish list of world-class digital archives, enabling your researchers to generate more original research, your instructors to adapt quickly to innovative approaches in teaching, and your students to acquire the digital skills they need for the 21st century workplace.
And the goal? To support you in strengthening your reputation as a leader in research, teaching, and learning, attracting high calibre staff and students in an increasingly competitive landscape.

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.
