Cengage Accessibility Guidelines
Authentication is via the UK Access Management Federation (InfoTrac), Athens, IP range, barcode, library managed passwords (scripting), and referring URL.
Z39.50 compliant.
An overview of Gale's compatibility with all major Discovery Services is available.
Gale/Cengage fully supports both OpenURL versions 0.1 and 1.0 (KEV Key/Encoded Value).
When linking to Gale/Cengage content using the OpenURL Standard, Thomson Gale recommend that users utilise the four core indexes (ISSN, Volume, Issue, Start Page) in the URL that is issued to Thomson Gale.
The use of the other indexes is only encouraged if users do not have index information for several of the core indexes and their goal is to reduce the number of results for a particular query. Please note that use of the other indexes lacks precision and at times will produce inconsistent results.
MARC 856 and ASCII records are available for download from the Cengage website.
Gale/Cengage endorses two methods of access and searching for its electronic databases. The first method uses an HTTP-based API and the second uses the Z39.50 protocol. The method selected depends on the design of the relevant metasearch product.
