{{update section|date=April 2023}}
On June 2, 2011, H. W. Wilson Company merged with [[EBSCO Publishing]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Questions & Answers regarding EBSCO Publishing's Merger with The H.W.

Wilson's operations will relocate to EBSCO headquarters in [[Ipswich,_Massachusetts|Ipswich]], [[Massachusetts]] which “offers room for expansion and is the logical choice for streamlining physical operations. While not always easy, making fiscally-responsible decisions such as this will allow us [to] invest more resources into increasing the value of the products and services that we create, and keep costs in check for our mutual companies” said Sam Brooks, EBSCO Publishing senior vice president, sales and marketing.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ojala |first=Marydee |date=2011-06-09 |title=EBSCO Acquires H.W.
