Changes to selected Gale databases

Posted: Fri, Jun 13th 2025

We will lose access to some resources that we received for free through the state as of June 30th due to funding cuts associated with the dissolution of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

We anticipate little impact to the Tufts community as most of these resources received little use here. They are more geared towards a high school student population, and are highly duplicative of other resources we already have.  

  • Gale Presents: Peterson's Test Prep                        
  • Gale Health and Wellness               
  • Gale Academic OneFile                   
  • Gale In Context: Biography             
  • Gale OneFile: Business                    
  • Gale General OneFile                        
  • Gale In Context: Global Issues                    
  • Gale In Context: Elementary                         
  • Gale In Context: Middle School                   
  • Gale In Context: Science                 
  • Gale In Context: U.S. History                        
  • Gale In Context: World History                    
  • Gale Literature Resource Center

There is more information on the impact of Executive Order 14238 eliminating the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) funding, which in turn supported the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioner's program to provide free access to these databases at the MBLC's website.
