RLG's Eureka Databases
Many of you have asked what will become of RLG's Eureka databases now that RLG and OCLC have joined together. The Eureka service will be discontinued and the following Eureka databases will be migrated to FirstSearch in the summer of 2007:
- Anthropological Index, Royal Anthropological Institute
- Anthropological Literature
- Anthropology Plus
- Avery Index to Architectural Periodicals
- Bibliography of the History of Art
- Chicano Database
- FRANCIS (international humanities and social sciences)
- History of Science, Technology, and Medicine
- Index to 19th-Century American Art Periodicals
- Russian Academy of Sciences Bibliographies (social sciences)
The Hand Press Book and SCIPIO: Art and Rare Book Sales Catalogs databases will transfer to FirstSearch at some point in 2007.
The following Eureka databases will not transfer to FirstSearch:
- English Short Title Catalogue
- Handbook of Latin American Studies
- Index to Hispanic Legislation (World Law Index, part 1)
- Inside Information Plus
Over the next few months, OCLC will share additional details about pricing and ordering (none of the Eureka databases will be available by the Per-Search pricing option).
Meanwhile, please continue to use the Eureka databases as usual and contact the RLG Information Center at ric@oclc.org with any questions about Eureka. You might also find the Eureka transition web site to be helpful: http://www.oclc.org/services/reference/rlg/default.htm.
