Several of the UC-licensed Gale databases are now live on the Artemis platform, while others will be transitioned based on Gale’s schedule. The new platform incorporates several new features and tools, such as term frequency (the frequency of search terms within sets of content to identify themes), cross-search capability (ability to search across the content of related products in a single environment) and downloadable OCR (materials are keyword and full-text searchable via optical character recognition).

Currently, the Gale databases available via the Artemis platform include 17th and 18th Century Burney Collection and Eighteenth Century Collections Online. Try out the databases on the Artemis platform by clicking the “New Experience Available! Try It Now” links on the existing platform.
