The new company was called Alacritude, LLC (a combination of Alacrity and Attitude). ELibrary had a library of 1,200 newspaper, magazine and radio/TV transcript archives that were generally not freely available.[5] Original investors included Prism Opportunity Fund of Chicago and 1 to 1 Ventures of Stamford, Connecticut. Spain stated, "There was a glaring gap between free search like Google and high-end offerings like LexisNexis and Factiva."[6] Later in 2002, it bought Researchville.com. By 2003, it had increased its archive base to articles from 2,600 publishers. In 2004, it was renamed HighBeam Research. In 2005, it increased its publisher base to 3,500 publishers. In 2006, Oxford University Press, Knight Ridder and The Washington Post archives were added. In 2008, it was purchased by Gale, a subsidiary of Cengage.[7] Highbeam featured many articles by the UK based Trinity Mirror Group. Until late 2018, Highbeam Research was a partner in the Womensforum network and a major content provider for the WomensForum women's issues research website.[8] In late 2018, it was announced that Highbeam Research had shut down after 16 years.[4] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/highbeam.com|title= Alexa.com Site Info|work= Alexa Internet|accessdate=February 17, 2019}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Publications by category|url=http://www.highbeam.com/publications|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110427143938/http://www.highbeam.com/publications|dead-url=yes|archive-date=April 27, 2011|website=HighBeam Research|publisher=Cengage Learning|accessdate=July 14, 2014}} 3. ^"[https://web.archive.org/web/20110728110147/http://www.highbeam.com/contact-us Contact Us]."
