For a number of years EBSCO promised a better biography database that would include the data from their Biography Reference Source and H.W. Wilson’s Biography Reference Bank databases. They now offer Biography Reference Ultimate that includes more information than the other two databases combined, and it will replace the two biography databases in the NebraskAccess lineup later this month.
Biography Reference Ultimate contains over 1,750,000+ full-text biographical entries pulled from respected, recognizable classic and contemporary sources of biographical information. It offers comprehensive searching as well as a greatly enhanced browsing experience to help users find, narrow down, and focus their research. For more information, see EBSCO’s product description page.
Those libraries with their own EBSCO accounts may see it available before it goes live on the NebraskAccess web site and will have until July 31 to make the switch.
