In more than 8,000 issues since first pub­li­ca­tion in 1843, The Econ­o­mist has pre­sented timely report­ing, con­cise com­men­tary and com­pre­hen­sive analy­sis of global news every week. With objec­tive author­ity, clar­ity and wit, The Econ­o­mist presents the world’s polit­i­cal, busi­ness, sci­en­tific, tech­no­log­i­cal and cul­tural devel­op­ments and the con­nec­tions between them. Because of its global edi­to­r­ial per­spec­tive, it is read by more of the world’s polit­i­cal and busi­ness lead­ers than any other magazine.

The Econ­o­mist His­tor­i­cal Archive deliv­ers a com­plete search­able copy of every issue of The Econ­o­mist from 1843 to 2006. New full-colour images, mul­ti­ple search indexes, exportable finan­cial tables and a gallery of front cov­ers high­light­ing a key topic of each week — all com­bine to offer a pri­mary source of research cov­er­ing the 19th and 20th centuries.

Ear­lier this sum­mer, we reported on major changes to the JSTOR inter­face in Weekly Online News https://staffweb.lib.washington.edu/news/won/won-archive/weekly-online-news-08–30-10

Since that time, JSTOR reports that the default option for authen­ti­cated users on all search forms has been changed to search licensed con­tent only. Authen­ti­cated users include users on cam­pus or users logged in via a remote access option.

For autho­rized users at par­tic­i­pat­ing insti­tu­tions, the check­box for “Include only con­tent I can access” on the Advanced Search form will be selected by default. Indi­vid­ual users will be able to des­e­lect the check­box if they wish to search across all content.

Other JSTOR search forms (the new basic search box on each page, the Cita­tion Loca­tor, and search within a jour­nal) will also default to search­ing only licensed content.

After receiv­ing search results for any search, any user may still elect to view all results for all con­tent includ­ing unli­censed content.

The sec­ond major issue is a delayed imple­men­ta­tion of JSTOR’s open url link­ing. Users who do access unsub­scribed con­tent may there­fore miss get­ting to con­tent we do sub­scribe to or own via another chan­nel. A revised date for this imple­men­ta­tion has not been announced.

The four Green­wood Press data­bases we began sub­scrib­ing to in 2009 just went through a major con­tent and plat­form change. The data­bases are: Amer­i­can Indian expe­ri­ence, Latino Amer­i­can expe­ri­ence, Pop cul­ture uni­verse, and Daily life through his­tory. Until Aug. 23, these were actu­ally sub­scrip­tion (non-permanent) col­lec­tions of some 600+ ebooks that were searchable.

The changes made Aug. 23 include:
1.dropped Green­wood Press from the pages, now they are ABC CLIO.
2. the ebook con­tent is no longer embed­ded in the data­bases, the con­tent has com­pletely changed. The new con­tent and orga­ni­za­tion is intended to be more sup­port­ive of stu­dent research and teach­ing.
3. all the urls changed. ITS will auto­mat­i­cally change as many of these as pos­si­ble on LibGuides, but selec­tors should check their pages (see list below)
4. we have been noti­fied that we have per­pet­ual access to the 600+ ebooks for­merly in the data­bases is avail­able. The records indi­cate: “part of the ABC-Clio ebook collection”

The Inter­na­tional Bib­li­og­ra­phy of Art (IBA) is the defin­i­tive resource for schol­arly lit­er­a­ture on west­ern art, and is pub­lished exclu­sively by Pro­Quest. IBA is the suc­ces­sor to the Bib­li­og­ra­phy of the His­tory of Art (BHA), and includes the most recent index records that were cre­ated by the Getty Research Insti­tute as part of BHA. These records were cre­ated in 2008–2009, and cover schol­ar­ship up to 2009, includ­ing ret­ro­spec­tive records for mate­r­ial pub­lished in pre­vi­ous years. Pro­Quest will be build­ing on this by adding 25,000 new records per year going for­wards, ensur­ing unbro­ken cov­er­age of indexed journals.

Pro­Quest is retain­ing the edi­to­r­ial poli­cies which made BHA one of the most trusted and fre­quently con­sulted sources in the field, and will use the Getty Research Institute’s own the­saurus and author­ity files. The bib­li­og­ra­phy pro­vides author­i­ta­tive cov­er­age of inter­na­tional schol­ar­ship within the fol­low­ing broad parameters:

* Euro­pean art from late antiq­uity to the present, Amer­i­can art from the colo­nial era to the present, and global art since 1945
* Visual arts in all media, plus dec­o­ra­tive and applied arts, museum stud­ies and con­ser­va­tion, archae­ol­ogy and clas­si­cal stud­ies, antiques and archi­tec­tural his­tory, and related fields
* Schol­ar­ship from at least 500 core jour­nals, plus detailed cov­er­age of mono­graphs, essay col­lec­tions, con­fer­ence pro­ceed­ings and exhi­bi­tion cat­a­logues
* Very inter­na­tional cov­er­age, with at least 60% of records from non-English-language pub­li­ca­tions (prin­ci­pally Ger­man, French, Ital­ian and Spanish)
