STATSnetBase has been cancelled effective 3/31/10. Record updating is in process.
Monthly Archives: March 2010
Additional Access: TableBase
The UW-Bothell Campus Library has long subscribed to TableBase. It is a Gale product, but on the RDS platform.
We have recently negotiated to have access opened up to Tacoma and Seattle as part of moving our subscription to Orbis/Cascade management. This also means remote access is available to Bothell students and faculty for the first time.
Additional content: Digital National Security Archive
We have added two segments to the Digital National Security Archive:
1. National Security Agency: organization and operations, 1945–2009.

REVIVED/CHANGED: Bibliography of the history of art
It’s hard to know what category to put this into. Apparently, BHA has been revived, and despite today’s date, it is no joke.
The database is now freely available at:
http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_research/bha/
In August 2009, the Getty Research Institute announced that it would no longer publish the Bibliography of the History of Art database due to budget reductions. Getty’s search for a buyer to continue management of this content has been unsuccessful. As a result, the Bibliography of the History of Art database will no longer be available on the OCLC FirstSearch service or other database platforms as of April 1, 2010
