A summary of a communication from EBSCO re H.W. Wilson databases:

After EBSCO acquired the H.W. Wilson databases last June they found areas that they needed to address –

• full-text licenses with publishers that were no longer valid
• titles that were no longer contributing active full text
• gaps in backfile coverage

To counter inaccurate suggestions, EBSCO wants it known that there are no instances where EBSCO has proactively removed full-text
content from an existing Wilson database where EBSCO has the contractual right to include the full text. EBSCO has either entered into new agreements with publishers, reinstated ongoing full text and filled gaps, or added new full-text titles to replace those that were not able to be validly included. The result is that these databases now have equal or greater full-text coverage than prior to the Wilson/EBSCO merger.

EBSCO is now in a position to provide definitive title lists for the Wilson full-text databases. We subscribe to the following:
• Art Full Text
• Art Index Retrospective
