The free, online database from Salem that accompanies The Decades series, the Great Lives from History series and the new, five-part series Milestone Documents. Electronic media brings opportunity, trade-offs and turmoil to reference. CDs, ebook files and online databases offer content delivery options galore. At the same time, the costs of maintaining both traditional print reference and electronic resources have escalated significantly, to the point where most colleges, schools and libraries are forced to choose one format from among the many offered by publishers. Most institutions select either ebook, online database or printed versions of the reference they need. Choosing both print and electronic editions of a single reference title is normally prohibitively expensive, in spite of the clear benefits of offering both to students and patrons. SALEM'S INITIATIVE Salem Press has a solution. Salem History is a robust online database that includes the complete content of printed reference sets, free. Purchasing printed reference delivers online access at no additional cost. Salem currently offers this service with three historical reference sets: Milestone Documents - A new, primary source series The Decades - Salem's critically acclaimed American history series Great Lives from History - Definitive, worldwide biographical resource Purchasing the newest title in any of these series provides unlimited, free online access to the content in that title through 12/31/2011. The online database includes a number of up-to-the-minute features: Free with print purchase Fully supported Free access through 12/31/2011 Unlimited users at your library Full access from home or dorm room Immediate access via online registration A simple, intuitive interface User profile areas for students and patrons Sophisticated search functions Complete content, including appendixes Fully illustrated RETROACTIVE BENEFITS Many Salem customers already own reference sets from the Decades series and from Great Lives from History. Good news: those colleges, schools and public libraries that already own some or all of the previously published titles in each series automatically qualify to access the earlier works' content free, once the newest title is purchased. Plus, Salem is offering special, "collection development" discounts to those who wish to complete their collection of titles in any or all these series. The Decades Series Salem Press published the critically acclaimed The Sixties in America in 1999. The Fifties in America and The Seventies in America, both very favorably reviewed, followed. In May, 2008 The Eighties in America will be available, along with free access to all its content via Salem History, the new online history database from Salem Press.

The print with electronic combination will make teaching research a more robust experience. And, having both forms available will provide those who prefer one over the other the resource they want.
