I have a fairly basic question that I would appreciate getting the library perspective on. I have been approached by The Wilson Company to license our association journal for inclusion in the Education Full Text Database. I would like to know if these types of databases are of value, and do libraries subscribe to them? Do they still serve a purpose in this age of large platforms like Ingenta and endless linking through CrossRef?

 

Thank you,
