Hi,
I believe an email came out a long time ago - maybe a couple of years - warning that the content was going to be removed from Ebsco after a certain date. That's what I seem to recall, anyway. Hence we made the move to the Economist Online some time ago in anticipation.
Nicola.

Subject: Re: [lis-e-resources] Economist & Economist Intelligence Unit content in EBSCO Business Source Complete
Hello Tom
I only became aware of this after we received an email from The Economist Group last week, I also assumed I missed something from Ebsco but maybe I didn't if you haven't seen any notification either.
To replace the content we are currently investigating the cost of a subscription to The Economist Online.
Hope that helps
Hannah
