Summary of message from EBSCOPublishing. Wilson Web (Wilson OmniFile) is moving to the EBSCOhost platform.
>>
As has been communicated several times recently, WilsonWeb will not be
available as of February 1, 2012.
[...] There are some databases that will no longer be made available, and as such,
customers will receive automatic upgrades to the more comprehensive versions, as
they become available. For example, customers subscribing to Book
Review Digest will automatically receive Book Review Digest Plus,
and customers of Education Index will be upgraded to Education
Abstracts. There are several other examples which can be found in the
“EBSCOhost Transition Plan” document located at www.ebscohost.com/wilson.

In TCD, the A-Z journal list has been updated and the MARC records for journals will be updated around the 20th of January. The MARC records for databases have been updated.

These two new platforms will replace the current platform.
Up to, and until, January 31, 2012 holdings can be accessed on both the new platforms and on the old.
