Gale Newspapers
« on: Saturday 24 April 10 23:06 BST (UK) »
Goodmorning

Is anyone else having problems accessing Gale 17th & 18th Burnley collection also 19th Century British Newspapers through National Library of Australia. Hasn't worked for a couple days.
The London Times seems to be ok.

Sorry if this has been asked already.
Thanks.

Yeah, me too. I have emailed them as it seems a long time to be down with no explanation.  Hopefully they will be back online soon.
NSW BDM is down as well.

Thanks Debra, thought it was just me. :)

I didn't realise how much I relied on the NSW BDM, how frustrated I was yesterday. ::)

Don't know if this will help, but I found that my library card number wasn't being recognised by the Gale website a while ago.  I emailed my libarary and they explained that there was a known problem - but they were able to give me a temporary password so that I could still use the site.
