Gale is Cengage's library reference arm and specializes in e-research and educational publishing for libraries, schools and businesses. The company creates and maintains databases that are published online, in print, as e-books and in microform.[6]
Cengage Unlimited[edit]
On December 5, 2017, Cengage announced Cengage Unlimited, a subscription service that allows students to pay for access to the company's entire digital higher education catalog by the semester or year, rather than buying individual textbooks.[7] This service became available during summer 2018, and was reported to be "in line with expectations" with its initial sales goal.[8] The University of Missouri is the first university to offer this plan to all students, effective January 2019.[9]
