12/15 - Migration to the New ProQuest Interface

Over the winter break the library will be switching several databases to a new ProQuest interface. The new ProQuest interface also merges the old CSA Illumina databases with the old ProQuest databases. The new interface offers additional features such as searching multiple databases more easily and selecting facets from the results.

Databases from ProQuest or Cambridge Scientific (CSA) that will migrate to the new ProQuest interface:

ProQuest Databases

Ethnic NewsWatch: A History (ENWH)
GenderWatch (GW)
Nursing & Allied Health Source
OxResearch
ProQuest Newspapers
Subset: ProQuest Newsstand
American Periodicals Series Online
ProQuest Historical Newspapers Chicago Tribune (1849 - 1987)
ProQuest Historical Newspapers Minneapolis Tribune (1867-1922)
