[aisle] Gale db question

Fri Oct 30 13:21:07 CDT 2020

I had to go into the Gale Admin website (admin.galegroup.com), Preferences,
and then to Product Specific Preferences.  I turned on the Display Content
Levels and Display Lexile Reading Levels for my products.  Depending on the
database, there are options for things like AR and Fountas/Pinnell, too,
but I keep those off.
