ProQuest Historical Newspapers
"…In my own case, the Historical New York Times database made it easy to do the basic research for a project which previously had seemed impractical to even attempt--I was able to complete in about eight hours what likely would have taken 2-3 months. The Historical New York Times is the promise of the Internet finally realized from the standpoint, at least, of historical research. Bravo!"

Robert Justin Goldstein,
Professor of Political Science, Oakland University

ProQuest Historical Newspapers – The New York Times
"Concord Free Public Library has subscribed to the New York Times Archive from ProQuest since January 2002. The product has proven to be a huge success here, with both library staff and patrons equally excited about this long-awaited resource. We now have access to text and image information that previously would have been formidable if not impossible to retrieve. The Archive has been used by people doing genealogy, and others who have, sometimes with staff assistance, easily found book reviews and general articles. It promises to be a major research tool in many subjects. Staff and patrons are using this archive frequently each week."

Ray Gerke,
Librarian Concord Free Public Library (Massachusetts)

SAGE Publications and ABI/INFORM . . .
"The decision to extend electronic distribution rights to ProQuest was based on several important factors. First, ABI/INFORM is the de facto source for quality business periodicals information. The database provides the ideal context for SAGE content, with its quality indexing and editorial selection. Second, ProQuest consistently provides outstanding distribution of content, including professional market segments that might not subscribe to each of our wide array of titles. ABI/INFORM is the business database of choice for nearly 90% of U.S. business school libraries and major business research centers around the world. This agreement will ensure that our titles are available to business researchers, an important audience to the editors of our journals, our learned society partners, and to our company."
