Translator issue: Gale - Global Issues in Context

denlinkd · January 12, 2018

Reporting on behalf of a faculty member: the translator (if there is one) for Gale's Global Issues in Context is not working. Not sure if this is a known issue.

Thanks -- Gale is almost universally broken. It's messy to fix, but I'll eventually have to bite the bullet and spend a weekend doing that. There are just so many sites and they're all a little different.

Hi Adam,
Is there any progress on the Gale issue? My students are back at it and the Gale translator still seems to be broken.

@jean.pfluger I'm happy to say that there _is_ progress. I have a fairly comprehensive fix under review and expect that to go live within the next couple of weeks.

@jean.pfluger all Gale databases I have access to now work with Zotero. Unfortunately, not all of them will attach the full text source in a reasonable format, but I did what I could on that, too.
