Wilson databases migration update

Update Jan­u­ary 4, 2012: all Wil­son data­bases are now avail­able on the Ebsco platform.

As pre­vi­ously announced, Wil­son data­bases are migrat­ing to the Ebsco plat­form.
You can access them now by open­ing any Ebsco resource and click­ing the “Choose data­base” but­ton. At the end of the list of data­bases you will see the Wil­son resources.

Ebsco is expected to remove access via the Wil­son plat­form no later than the end of Jan­u­ary. I there­fore sug­gest that libguides and other doc­u­men­ta­tion be updated as soon as possible.

New access url’s appear below:
