Dear Safranim, I am writing to follow up to my post to this listserv from January 14th of this year, regarding the available content in some of Gale's database products, most notably Global Issues in Context. As promised, Gale has been working aggressively over the last few months to expand our broad coverage of current events in the Middle East.
I am happy to announce to this group that we have recently signed an additional 16 titles, including: Globes (McClatchy News Service): This publication covers political, business and technology news and is published in Tel Aviv. Commentary (Commentary, Inc): A scholarly magazine publishing analysis and opinion on contemporary issues in politics, religion, foreign affairs, social policy, culture, and the arts. Israel Studies (Indiana University Press): A journal devoted to multidisciplinary scholarship on Israeli history, politics, society, and culture, with emphasis on the current State of Israel, including the effect of events in the Diaspora communities. Israel National News (Arutz Sheva): Based in the West Bank, Arutz Sheva is a voice of the Israeli settlement movement and a views itself as a counterbalance to "the 'negative thinking' and 'post-Zionist' attitudes so prevalent in Israel's liberal-left media." Adva Center: Adva Center is an action-oriented Israeli policy analysis center. Gale's agreement includes 11 titles ranging from Education to Development & Globalization, Social Reports to Employment. InFocus (Jewish Policy Center): The Jewish Policy Center's quarterly journal, InFocus is a collection of scholarly essays that focus on a specific policy theme each quarter. We plan to have current coverage of all of these sources available in our InfoTrac and Global Issues in Context products within the next month. Articles from Globes, Commentary, and Israel Studies have already been included in both these files. As always, we thank you for your continued interest in and attention to Gale's products, and we look forward to seeing many of you this summer at AJL and ALA in Chicago.
