Hi folks,
Apologies for broken links. The pages literally moved overnight as a
result of the ALA website rebuild.
Gale's correct web address is: http://www.gale.cengage.com/
The Award/Committee web site is currently:
http://staging.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/rusa/archive/rusaawards/galegroupawardexcellence.cfm
Please be patient with the site, as it is undergoing many changes and
seems to be running quite slowly right now.
Thanks!
Anne Behler
