Description
Jennifer Albers-Smith is the Director of Marketing, Academic and Special Libraries at Gale, part of Cengage Learning. She has worked at Gale for eight years in both sales and marketing capacities and has launched several very successful products to the market including Nineteenth Century Collections Online and Gale NewsVault. Gale’s OA philosophy, although yet to be defined, includes actively exploring ways to best surface OA content in a way that is beneficial to the researcher and the author. As both a publisher and aggregator of a wide range of resources – digitized primary source collections, eBooks, periodical databases, microform, and print – Gale does not publish any open access content, but works with many publishers who do; and includes an extensive amount of public domain materials in their various product offerings. Gale is looking forward to hearing from our academic researchers what their thoughts are around the future of open access and how it will affect their expectations and use of digital collections, ebook collections and aggregated databases.
