Wharton changes in the coming months

At the end of last year Wharton Research Data Services (WRDS) launched their new platform for accessing databases. The old platform has been kept up and running simultaneously but is now actively being phased out. The databases are currently no longer being updated through the old platform.

Below you find a schedule for the databases that shows when they will be removed from the old platform in the coming months:

5/19/10 Free datasets
5/26/10 CISDM, CENTRIS, CUSIP, GOVPX, IRI
6/9/10 The Corporate Library, Mergent FISD/NAIC, MFLINKS, S&P Credit Ratings, SMAR
6/23/10 AuditAnalytics, comScore, Nastraq, Riskmetrics, Bureau van Dijk
6/30/10 TAQ
7/21/10 Compustat, CRSP

At the moment we still offer links to both the new and the old Wharton platform for accessing databases. Be aware that if you are doing research through the old platform you may need to start doing your searches using the new platform in the coming months!
