Subject: Re: [ARLIS-L] Query for ARLISNA: EBSCO's Art & Architecture CompleteAll,This would be a great opportunity for a collaborative project, I think. Could we get together an interested group of individuals who could create a spreadsheet comparing coverage?

I had posted this query on the ARLISNY listserv last week and got a very helpful response from Ted Goodman. I was wondering if anyone else in ARLISNA had any thoughts on the following.
We are currently evaluating Ebsco’s Art & Architecture Complete which, according to the vendor, provides full-text coverage of more than 250 periodicals, and indexing and abstracts for more than 630 academic journals, magazines and trade publications.
We are having a difficult time assessing how the coverage (titles, dates and full-text availability) of this product compares with that of databases to which we already subscribe, such as Art Index, for instance.
If anyone has any information or advice, we would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Deborah Vincelli
