Ebsco replaces ProQuest Western Libraries is pleased to announce the launch of EBSCO’s Academic Search Complete as our primary "first stop" database on July 1, 2008. The EBSCO databases are being brought to Western’s academic community through the Washington Cooperative Library Project, a consortium of the six public baccalaureates. EBSCO’s Academic Search Complete offers significantly more current peer-reviewed full text titles than ProQuest (over 4,700 journals in full text; of which more than 3,700 are peer-reviewed). In addition, EBSCO’s Business Source Complete will improve coverage of business resources with access to more than 1,200 journals, and will offer new features such as financial data, industry reports, company profiles, and SWOT analysis. Members of the campus community have had an opportunity to preview EBSCO databases for the past year during a free trial period.Newspaper coverage will improve, with greatly expanded coverage of Washington State, US, and especially international newspapers through Newsbank’s Access World News, about 1,800 titles in all. We will also offer additional Washington State newspapers and five major national newspapers through ProQuest. The library will continue to offer access to ProQuest’s Ethnic Newswatch and Dissertations and Theses. Our subscription to all other ProQuest databases will end on July 1st. Access World News and the EBSCO databases are available now from the library’s home page. |
