Academic Search Complete replacing Expanded Academic ASAP
An important note to faculty and students on a frequently-used database:
For many years, the UC System has subscribed to the database Expanded Academic ASAP as our general multi-disciplinary periodical search tool. After a thorough investigation of the content available in Expanded Academic in comparison to other competitor databases, UC Libraries made the decision to replace this database with Ebsco’s Academic Search Complete. The Ebsco database contains more scholarly journal content than we are now getting (5,500 full-text periodicals, including more than 4,600 peer-reviewed journals), and was chosen as the most suitable choice to serve the general searching needs of faculty and students. As with most aggregator databases, some content is available online, while other publications are only indexed.

HINT: One useful aspect of Academic Search Complete is that you can cross-search its content with other EBSCOhost databases, which can be selected from a scroll menu on the main search page. These additional databases include Business Source Premier and Business Source Complete (good for film industry questions!), America: History and Life, LGBT Life, Newspaper Source, The Nation Archive, Library, Information Science & Technology Abstracts, and MasterFILE Premier (a useful source for searching popular press magazines not always included in Academic Search Complete).
