Business Source Premier gone!

For so long we have been used to talking about Business Source Premier – this is no longer available – its time to think and talk about Business Source Complete.


DIT's subscription to Business Source Premier has been upgraded to Business Source Complete, meaning an enhanced access to even more resources. Our access to Academic Search Complete and Business Source Complete has been made possible by IREL who have paid our subscription for 2012.

This link give more details about Business Source Complete, click here

Remember Business Source Premier (BSP) is now gone - completely gone!
