Cinema Image Gallery is now available on WilsonWeb! Featuring more than 152,000 images from movies, television and entertainment, Cinema Image Gallery weds the most comprehensive still image archive of its kind to WilsonWeb's depth of full text articles and biographical profiles. The result is both a practical tool for serious research in film studies, biography and beyond, and a fun and approachable resource for movie lovers and fans of entertainment stars back a century.

	For academic libraries-- Cinema Image Gallery is a practical reference for courses in film studies, photography, literature, art and design, fashion and costume design, make-up artistry, set design, graphics and illustration, pop culture, and social sciences.
	For public libraries-- Cinema Image Gallery satisfies movie and entertainment fans with reliable information and images (many unavailable elsewhere) of favorite actors and actresses, movies, and tv shows. The database is also a useful adjunct to video collections. Since coverage encompasses artists and works from today back to silent films, CIG may also prove popular with such users as film clubs and senior citizen's groups.
	All images are rights-cleared for educational use.

The Cinema Image Gallery demo on the H.W. Wilson website should serve as a helpful introduction to the database.

The database is already earning positive press coverage. Have a look at Carolyn Tenopir's column on the Library Journal website, at www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6618867.html.

In related news, Wilson anticipates that the Getty database, International Bibliography of Art (formerly BHA, Bibliography of the History of Art) will be joining the Art suite of databases on WilsonWeb this spring.

EBSCO will be entering the world of federated searching in early summer 2009 with EBSCOhost Integrated Search.

from EBSCO:

"Because the recently enhanced EBSCOhost interface is the essence of EBSCOhost Integrated Search, it leverages the same easy-to-use EBSCOhost features and functionality that users know and have come to rely on.

Like federated search engines, EBSCOhost Integrated Search allows users to simultaneously search EBSCO databases as well as all other electronic resources, including those from other database aggregators, OPACs, and publisher packages. However, unlike federated search products, true integration is possible with EBSCOhost Integrated Search as libraries can now apply the powerful EBSCOhost search experience to all of their other electronic information resources. EBSCOhost features that are available for any database, from any vendor, include:

    * EBSCOhost Basic and Advanced Search Screen Functionality
    * Subject clustering
    * Publication clustering
    * Sorting results by Relevancy or Date
    * Date Slider limiter
    * Add to Folders option
    * Use of Custom Links
    * Fast response times, allowing results to trickle in without delaying the user

In addition, through EBSCOadmin, librarians can now set up any databases from any vendor, customize the user experience for external databases, generate usage reports from external databases, add labels of databases for unfamiliar end users and more. "

Josh Hadro discusses EBSCOhost Integrated Search at LibraryJournal.com (http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6633587.html?nid=2671&source=link&rid=438395636).

The Oxford Encyclopedia of Women in World History, edited by Bonnie G. Smith, captures the experiences of women throughout history in a far-reaching, four-volume work.
