Gale Acquires Questia

Gale yesterday announced the acquisition of Questia Media, a subscription platform for humanities and social sciences content, providing access to "76,000 books from 300+ publishers and millions of articles from journals, magazines and newspapers," according to the company.

The assets, acquired for an undisclosed sum, include university press authors and titles from big commercial companies like Elsevier, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, and Perseus, said John Barnes, Gale executive VP of strategic marketing and business development.

Gale®, part of Cengage Learning, is a world leader in e-research and educational publishing for libraries, schools and businesses. Many of the resources available to us through ICONN are Gale products.
