Hi Meghann and other Gold Rush subscribers,
I have heard back from Ebsco regarding inaccurate dates on their title
lists. They hope to have this issue resolved by the end of the month.
So we hope the issue is completely resolved once we import the lists for
May, 2011. Typically, Ebsco makes these lists available to us at the
beginning of the month. In the mean time, please continue to report
anomalies to [log in to unmask]

Hello,
We have recently updated a few of the key Ebsco databases. We download
Ebsco databases from a special ftp site that includes all the title
lists. This is a site all of the various ERM vendors use to update
Ebsco databases into their knowledge base. Ebsco also provides title
lists on their public site. However according to Ebsco, the title lists
on the ftp site are even more up to date than the title lists on their
public website. Unfortunately, this month, this has not been the case.
The title lists at least for a handful of databases (Academic Search
Premier, Business Source Premier, Mas Ultra School Edition, MasterFile
Premier and Business Source Compete) are not accurate. I have
contacted Ebsco about the discrepancies in their title lists, but have
not yet heard back from them. It looks like the title lists on their
public website are more accurate than the ftp site. So for now, we will
update the Ebsco databases using the title lists from the public
website.
We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused, but hope to have the
accurate lists in place soon.
Thanks,
Rose
