Rescheduled:

Gale Cengage changes noted in Counterculture earlier this year have been delayed:

  • Gale Virtual Reference Library deletions of outdated resources and addition of updates has not taken place yet
  • What do I read next? was to have been switched off by now but is to remain live, possibly until renewals in 2009
  • Literature Resource Center has not yet changed to the new interface (should happen in the very near future)
