do you use your library? if you do have a look on their home page and see if it subscibes.If you don't belong to one join one or you might miss out on other things like i have. As I said i never knew i was entitled to things being a member.I am going to see what else i can have ;) its great 8)

My library gives me remote access to The Times, but I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped that. They used to provide  access to the OED and DNB but stopped that - even in a library. Thankfully I've got them back by being able to become a cyberspace member of Bedfordshire library. I have complained but didn't get much joy -  :(

But they never ask anyone for money - what is the point of them giving free trials if you can't take out a subscription  with them?

I think Gale only deal with the likes of Libraries, Universities, Schools etc rather than individuals. (it might be part of their licensing agreement) Whichever organisation arranged the trial would be who Gale corresponded with.
