Hi Mary, I'm still waiting to hear back from Ebsco about accuracy of their coverage dates. My contact at Ebsco, Jared Atwater is still trying to confirm coverage dates. In the mean time, if you do find anomalies, please continue to report them so we can make corrections on the existing lists.

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.
