State Cancels Funding for Wilson Select Plus and Periodical Abstracts

Wilson Select Plus and Periodical Abstracts, two databases funded by the Illinois State Library, are no longer available due to State of Illinois budget cuts. This sad bit of news was announced yesterday by the director of the Illinois State Library, Anne Craig.

The good news is that Parkland Library has access to other full-text databases, such as Academic Search Premier and InfoTrac Expanded Academic ASAP. These two resources alone collect millions of magazine and journal articles at your fingertips.
