Following the implementation of Athens authentication for a number of our
Chadwyck-Healey databases, including Literature Online and KnowUK, we are
now implementing it for ProQuest databases too, starting with ABI/Inform.
There will be further announcements regarding content and ABI/Inform next
week.

Subject: Ebsco v ABI
Hi,
We have also been trialing Ebsco with a view to move over from
ABI, our renewal does not come up until end of year so this debate
is very useful.. One advantage with Ebsco is the Athens
authentication which enables us to give access to our franchise
institutions easily. We will continue to monitor the debate but will
probably have to go down the Ebsco route although I also think the
ABI
interface is a lot nicer to use.
