Thank you, Liane, and others who sent me messages about this issue. Serials librarians are terrific!

I’m hoping I can help with what seems to have become something of a mystery. The publication, Communicating Nursing Research (ISSN 0160-1652), has been published continuously since 1968. This publication is the product of the Western Institute of Nursing (and prior to 1985, the organization was known as the Western Council on Higher Education for Nursing). Until 1996, WIN was a structural unit of WICHE. In June 1996, WIN moved to Portland, OR. WIN is an incorporated nonprofit organization and is physically housed at the Oregon Health& Science University (OHSU), although it is not an entity of OHSU. We published Volume 30 in April 1997 after WIN moved to Portland, and just published Volume 43 in 2010. > > So, I am confirming, definitively, that the Western Institute of Nursing is the publisher of Communicating Nursing Research, and it is most definitely continuing to be published. We offered only a DVD in 2009, but have both a DVD and a hard copy of the publication available for 2010. I will clarify with Ulrich’s Periodicals Directory that we are not “ceased” (or deceased for that matter)!! Although, we’ve done business with CINAHL for a number of years, I will contact them to let them know that WIN should be listed as the publisher. > Incidentally, SWETS and EBSCO order the publication from us, but I don’t believe we’ve had any contact with WT COX. > > Liane, I appreciate your guidance on this issue.

Furthermore, some serials vendors who work with libraries are reporting the title as ceased. Also, in databases like CINAHL, the publisher is listed as WICHE, and WIN is not listed at all. > > I know from confirming with WIN that the title is still published on CD-ROM. Vol 43 (Spring 2010) is indexed in the CINAHL database.

I do think EBSCO has it correct, but I am not certain of the others. A notice should also be sent to Ulrich’s.
