Apologizes for cross-posting

The MLA is pleased to announce that it has signed contracts with CSA and
ProQuest, who will make the MLA International Bibliography available to
subscribers beginning in early 2005. In addition, the Bibliography will
continue to be offered on EBSCO, Gale, and OCLC platforms.

As Ovid has already announced, the MLA International Bibliography is no
longer being offered through Ovid Technologies, but remains available
until no later than 12 July 2005 to subscribers who had renewed prior to
12 July of this year.  The MLA and Ovid have agreed to a two-month
extension to allow customers with subscriptions expiring in August and
September the opportunity to find a new vendor without interruption of
service. Additionally, the Bibliography will not be available through
SilverPlatter after 26 November of this year, but customers may renew
their subscriptions for up to one year prior to that date.

The MLA will continue to send updates to Ovid and SilverPlatter to enable
them to fulfill their commitments to current subscribers, who will have
access to the database through the end of their subscription terms.

If you have questions, please contact me.
