archangel9 Posted 15 March , 2010 Share Posted 15 March , 2010 Coming soon - http://gale.cengage.co.uk/product-highligh...ondon-news.aspx "To request pricing or a free trial contact emea.marketing@cengage.com" I did so and got this reply - Dear John, The archive will be released later this year. It is only available at this stage to institutions for trial and purchase eg. academic or public libraries. You may wish to register your interest with your nearest large public library. They could then make some enquiries on your behalf. They can direct their queries to emea.arketing@cengage.com Regards, Nicholas Might be worth checking with your local library.

daggers Posted 15 March , 2010 Share Posted 15 March , 2010 John That looks like a great resource and we should all be knocking at our librarians' door to get them to provide it via their ticket system, as with the Times, and other papers. Thanks for the info. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
