M.E. Sharpe, the publisher of Sharpe Reference titles, has decided to discontinue Sharpe-Online Reference (SOLR) and has partnered with EBSCO Information Services to ensure that customers maintain perpetual access to the titles they have purchased. SOLR customers have been given unlimited simultaneous use access to their titles on EBSCO eBooks to help them during a transition period and once the SOLR platform is no longer accessible customers will continue to have access via EBSCO eBooks.
Sharpe Online Reference was created to bring together 31 award-winning Sharpe Reference encyclopedias in a single, cross-searchable database. The decision to move titles off the platform allows ME Sharpe to make those titles available through other vendors.
As with all EBSCO eBooks, SOLR customers will receive access with no annual hosting or access fees of any kind. A list of FAQs is available on the EBSCO support site at: http://bit.ly/SOLRonEBSCOeBooksFAQ.
