We recently received this email through a federal library listserv, thought
I'd put it out there in case anyone needed to know:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The fulltext of Army Times, Navy Times, Air Force Times, Federal Times is no
longer available in Ebsco databases. Jerry Eonta at Ebsco said that Gannett
is pulling all their products off all commercial aggregators. Gannett
publishes USA Today, Armed Forces Journal, Army, Air Force, Navy, and
Federal Times.  The current policy at Army Times is that if you buy the
print you get one free online password limited to one person.  They will no
longer sell license agreements to libraries or offices for access to the
online version.
If you have strong feelings about this, you might want to contact Gannett.

I sent the following email to Betty Gonner (bgonner@atpco.com) at Army Times
and the "contact us" email at Gannett (gcishare@gannett.com):

"I noticed that the fulltext of Army Times in no longer available in Ebsco
Military Full Text. Jerry Eonta at Ebsco said that Gannett is pulling all
their products off all commercial aggregators. Gannett is not looking at the
bigger picture When publishers pull their periodicals out of the full text
databases, the articles and information are lost to a large number of
people. People will use sources of information other than Gannett products
to get the information they need. Nothing is more frustrating than to learn
about an article, but not be able to access it.
This office purchases electronic resources centrally for 88 Army Libraries
around the world and print copies of Army Times for troops stationed in
Bosnia and Kosovo. Our Librarians manage information and help the library
users find the information they need through fulltext databases such as sold
by Ebsco, Proquest, Gale Infotrac, Dialog, Lexis/Nexis, and other
aggregators.
When librarians are determining where to spend their money, more than likely
they will purchase fulltext aggregated databases instead of purchasing
access to a single online fulltext title. Looking at it from this view
point, Gannett will lose the money from the aggregators  and may not get new
subscriptions.
The current policy of only allowing one person access for one print
subscription - limits use in libraries.  Librarians do not do most of the
searching.  Licenses to the Army's fulltext aggregated databases include
remote access for library patrons.  Libraries are becoming virtual. If
libraries have the choice between print or electronic - most often
electronic aggregated databases win. Again Gannett loses. Please reconsider
your decision. "
