Mobile App Update: Explore Your Digital Library via Access My Library
## Gale Announces End of Access My Library Mobile App Service
Gale, a leading digital educational and research resources provider, has announced that its Access My Library (AML) mobile app will cease operation on August 22, 2025 [1]. This decision comes as a result of a review of usage data and aims to streamline resource access points [1].
The AML app will no longer be available for download, but users can still access all core features of the app through their library's Gale Product Menu on Gale Pages [2]. This transition means that users can access all Gale resources, including research databases, eBooks, and digital archives, without the need for a dedicated app [2].
Gale resources are designed to be mobile responsive, ensuring a smooth and consistent user experience across various devices [2]. Users can access these resources through their mobile web browsers, making it easy to access educational materials on the go.
If users prefer the app-like experience, they can create a shortcut to their library's Gale Product Menu on their device's home screen for quick access [2]. It's worth noting that Gale has not mentioned any specific third-party alternatives or new mobile apps to replace the AML app [2].
Within Gale Pages, users can search and browse all Gale resources, download articles and book chapters for offline reading, and even translate articles into another language [3]. The discontinuation of the AML app is part of Gale's efforts to eliminate redundancies in resource access points and provide a more centralized and streamlined user experience [1].
For users who need assistance during this transition, Gale has provided a customer support email address: [email protected] [4]. Users can reach out to their customer success specialist for support before the AML app service ends.
