Residents in New Mexico and Connecticut Now Have Free Access to Authoritative Resources
FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Jan. 19, 2007 - Statewide library consortia throughout the country are taking advantage of AccessMyLibrary.com, Thomson Gale's library advocacy Web site that allows patrons of participating libraries to access library databases on the Web and via search engines with the simple click of a mouse. Thomson Gale is part of Thomson Learning.
Thanks to recent partnerships, all residents of Connecticut and New Mexico now have quick and convenient access to the breadth of online, authoritative resources their libraries have purchased on their behalf. Residents of these states are able to view content housed in the Thomson Gale databases their library owns, such as InfoTrac OneFile, on the Web at www.accessmylibrary.com and when integrated into the search results of all major search engines.
Additionally, all residents of these two states are able to participate in a streamlined authentication process, designed to more quickly get them to the full text of periodical articles, journal entries and electronic reference books (eBooks).
"Our strategic partnerships with the forward-thinking statewide library consortia in Connecticut and New Mexico will provide large benefits to both the residents and the libraries of these states," said Matt Hong, Vice President and General Manager of Open Web Markets for Thomson Gale.
"All residents in these states will have even easier access to the authoritative information contained in their libraries via the Web," Hong added. "Additionally, libraries themselves will increase their prominence, as well as their relevancy, in the everyday lives of tens of millions of end users in these states."
