Galecengage
WiLS is a reseller of Gale Group databases. For any NEW Gale Group database subscriptions, ordering through WiLS will save you 15% off list price. Make certain that you request your subscription be billed to WiLS. Contact Cheryl Bradley for a price quote, 608.265.4167.

Renewals are a bit more problematic. As most of you are aware, libraries who subscribe to multiple Gale databases sometimes receive large discounts for doing so. We suggest that as each of your databases comes up from renewal you ask your Gale Sales Rep if it would be cheaper to have the billing done through WiLS. It may be that they are already giving you in excess of 15% off list. In that case, it makes no sense to change. If the WiLS 15% discount is better than what you are already receiving, you MUST request to have the renewal billed to WiLS. Gale will not do this automatically.


WiLS has an academic library group subscription for each of the following databases that runs 7/1/08-6/30/09. Mid-year additions to this group are permitted.
