Wilson Legacy Bundle and Source Renewal 2020-2021

Response Deadline: 
July 10, 2020

Subscription Term

Begins: 

August 1, 2020

Ends: 

July 31, 2021

Pricing is now available for the renewal of the Wilson Legacy Bundle and Source Databases: Applied Science & Technology Source, Art & Architecture Source, Education Source and Humanities Source. We are pleased to announce that BC ELN has negotiated flat pricing on this renewal.

As outlined in previous renewals, due to legacy pricing agreements negotiated with EBSCO, no new subscribers will be allowed onto the Wilson Legacy Bundle or Wilson FT upgrades. However, the Source Databases are available to all BC ELN partner libraries. Partner libraries enjoy discounts on Wilson products partly due to BC ELN's subscriptions to Academic Search Complete.

 



Updates: 

There are two different collections discussed within this renewal:

  1. Wilson Legacy Bundle (Indexes and full text upgrades)
  2. Ebsco Source Databases

Wilson Legacy Bundle

The seven Wilson Indexes are a single package. Six of these had optional fulltext upgrades. As of 2012, there is no option for new subscribers to join the index and full text upgrade packages, nor can existing subscribers change full text packages. Note that if the Wilson Legacy Bundle is cancelled, it cannot be re-subscribed to.

 

Source Databases

Vendor Notes: The Source databases were developed from a merger of high-quality databases from EBSCO and H.W. Wilson, and include many unique sources.


Overview

Vendor: 
EBSCO Publishing
Description: 

The Wilson Indexes + Full Text is a legacy licence. As of August 2012 no new libraries may join, and current subscribers cannot adjust collections, only drop the entire product. EBSCO will soon be announcing new products which will enable libraries to obtain access to a re-packaged version of the same content.

Direct URLs are formed by adding the three letter short name to end of the following:
