H.W. Wilson Triples Production of Staff-Written
Biographical Profiles
Biography Reference Bank, Wilson Biographies Plus Illustrated Grow
Faster,
at No Extra Charge to Subscribers
New York, New York, March 3, 2008
A robust new program of staff-written profiles for H.W. Wilson's
acclaimed biography databases is set to provide quicker coverage of
people in the news. The Company today announced plans to add nearly
1,500 profiles this year to WilsonWeb--more than three times the
number in past years--focusing on individuals likely to inspire
biography research from a broad spectrum of activities, professions,
and countries.
Wilson's popular
Biography Reference Bank
and
the upcoming Biography
Reference Bank, Select Edition will feature the added content at no extra
charge to subscribers. The databases will also continue to grow by
thousands of entries beyond the schedule of staff-written articles:
profiles licensed from other respected publishers, coverage from
thousands of periodicals indexed by other WilsonWeb databases, plus
content from new Wilson print references.
H.W. Wilson biography resources have long been
lauded for their thoroughness and accuracy, facets more important
than ever in the age of internet research. "When rumors and errors
can be easily passed as truth, with their wide propagation only
reinforcing their credibility, the well-researched and fact-checked
profiles of Wilson references are a bulwark, especially where it
comes to the sort of urgent research inspired by news," comments
Cliff Thompson, editor of H.W. Wilson's Current Biography.
