EBSCOhost and H.W. Wilson “Super” Databases

Through the combined strengths of the two companies (the authoritative indexing provided by Wilson’s subject thesaurus and the Wilson “names” authority file plus EBSCO Publishing’s extensive controlled vocabularies and comprehensive full-text content), seven new subject-specific databases will soon be available that will dramatically improve online research in the subject areas listed below. These new Source products will offer a single, comprehensive source for all related EBSCO and Wilson content in each subject area.

It is important to note that while the new, merged “super” databases will be made available at an additional cost, customers will NOT be required to upgrade. For example, a customer of Art Abstracts or Art Full Text will not be required to upgrade to Art Source, because Art Abstracts and Art Full Text will continue to be sold separately.

We expect that all seven of these new databases will be available by early 2012.
