Hi All,
To answer the question that both Lee and Don have put forward, it is
not entirely clear if the content is duplicated. At least one
patron, a curator of Ancient Art suspects that the new free website
version f DYABOLA does not return as many results as the subscription
database. He used renown authors for the search, JJ Pollitt, Evelyn
Harrison, Brunhilde Ridgeway, etc., and felt as if the results were
not as complete as in the past.
I am planning to compare today and will left you know what I find. I
am hoping they are equal and we can go bravely into that good night.
yours,
lucie
