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. There is a 1.5% increase over last year's pricing.
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:
- Wilson Legacy Bundle (Indexes and full text upgrades)
- 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.
