Art Abstracts and Art Index Retrospective Now Available in CDL-hosted Databases

Access to H. W. Wilson’s Art Abstracts (1984-present) and Art Index Retrospective (1929-1984) via the CDL-hosted databases (Z39.50) is now in place.  Art Abstracts became available on July 19th in the web and telnet interfaces to the CDL-hosted databases and Art Index Retrospective was added to both interfaces on July 27.

SearchLight status: SearchLight used the previous supplier of Art Abstracts (OCLC) and so must be modified to use Wilson’s version (via Z39.50).  Searchlight searches of Art Abstracts should be restored by mid-August.

Leslie Abrams (UCSD) is the Art Abstracts/Art Index Retrospective Resource Liaison.
