IIRC, Amy said in last week's meeting that she selected Newsbank Access World News Research Collection to activate for Olympic.

Subject: [Wactclc-primo] Newsbank trials in Alma CZ and Primo PCI

In the Alma community zone, I see two newsbank collections that match in name to the current WSL trial offerings:

NewsBank America's News Magazines
Newsbank Access World News Research Collection

I cannot say how well the titles in the two Alma collections above match the titles in the actual collections.

My gut feeling is that the collections will not be 100% accurate. Though, based on title counts, it's probably a case that the Alma collections do not reflect all of the current newsbank holdings (ie, the title counts on the vendor side are higher than the title counts on the Alma side).

I do not see any collections in the PCI that parallel the trial offerings through the WSL program.
