EBSCO Publishing Increases Access to Retro Indexes from H.W. Wilson

EBSCO Publishing has lifted the simultaneous user restriction and provided a free upgrade to unlimited access for all Wilson Retro Index customers.

Ipswich, MA (PRWEB) June 24, 2011

Customers with simultaneous user access to the 15 Retro Indexes available from H.W. Wilson now have unlimited access to those resources. EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO) has lifted the simultaneous user restriction and provided a free upgrade to unlimited access for all Wilson Retro Index customers.

EBSCO had hoped to move WilsonWeb users to the unlimited access model by September but has been able to complete the task much sooner than expected. All WilsonWeb Retrospecitve Index users will maintain their, now unlimited, access when they migrate over to the EBSCOhost® platform by the end of the year.

Wilson Retro Indexes include:

•     Applied Science & Business Index Retrospective™
•     Applied Science & Technology Index Retrospective™
•     Art Index Retrospective™
•     Biography Index Retrospective™
•     Book Review Digest Retrospective™
•     Business Periodicals Retrospective Index™
•     Education Index Retrospective™
•     Essay and General Literature Index Retrospective™
•     Humanities & Social Sciences Index Retrospective™
•     Humanities Index Retrospective™
•     Index to Legal Periodicals Retrospective™
•     Library Literature & Information Science Retrospective™
•     Readers’ Guide Retrospective™
•     Short Story Index Retrospective™
•     Social Sciences Retrospective™

Many other Wilson databases include some sort of restriction on the number of simultaneous users that may access the product. Moving forward, EBSCO will offer individual institutions affordable upgrade options to move to unlimited access.
