EDINA launches Art Index Retrospective
**************************************
EDINA is pleased to announce the addition of H W Wilson's Art Index
Retrospective to its collection of online bibliographic databases.
This service, resulting from a JISC/CHEST agreement, complements Art
Abstracts, EDINA's other H W Wilson database.
Pricing for Art Index Retrospective is 6,600 pounds plus VAT for the
three-year agreement, payable either as a lump sum or in annual payments
(6,200 pounds plus VAT if a lump sum payment is made before February 2001).
Licensed Sites will receive a CD-ROM on request which can be used in
perpetuity. If the agreement is not renewed, EDINA may continue to provide
online access to subscribing sites.
FREE 30-day institution-wide trials and subscriptions are now available
via [log in to unmask]; see http://edina.ac.uk/art-index-retro/subscribe.html

Details of the database
***********************
H W Wilson's Art Index Retrospective provides searchable indexing spanning
55 years of art journalism from 420 noted publications around the globe,
reflecting coverage provided from 1929 to 1984.
Indexing of art reproductions helps researchers study the body of work of
an artist or track down reproductions of any work of interest.
Art Index Retrospective, when used in conjunction with Art Abstracts,
(indexing from 1984, plus abstracting from 1994 to the present) provides
seamless access to nearly seven decades of articles. If your institution
has a site licence for both Art Abstracts and Art Index Retrospective, you
will be able to search across both databases at the same time.
As with most other EDINA services, access to the database is via personal
and access Athens accounts.
EDINA Art Index Retrospective has been developed with a web interface
using OCLC SiteSearch; an enhanced version is due for release over the
Summer.
