————– ANNOUNCEMENT —————
Dear ProQuest Customer,
The next ProQuest platform enhancement release will be on December 15, 2007. A twelve (12) hour maintenance window will take place to install these exciting new enhancements. The window will begin Saturday, December 15, 2007, at 22:00 EDT to Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 10:00 EDT. See below for a more complete list of times and time zones.
Enhancements include:
* ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Multimedia Support release—ProQuest has seen an increase in dissertations and theses that include supplementary digital materials - audio, video, spreadsheets, etc. To properly support scholarly access to these materials, ProQuest is now making them available online in the Full Text version of the ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) database.
* ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source Study Paths—Study Paths allows a user to quickly view full text articles recommended by a board of experienced nurse educators on topics relevant to their curriculum. This exciting new enhancement makes it easier for users to complete their assignments, research a topic, or prepare for examinations. A new splash page will appear when users log into the product. The Study Paths feature is for the ProQuest Nursing & Allied Health Source database only and does not impact other ProQuest products.
The following products will be unavailable during this window:
* ProQuest interface products, ProQuest Historical Newspapers (traditional and graphical K12 interface), American Periodicals Series
* Third-party databases such as ERIC® PlusText
* ProQuest Archiverâ„¢

The FindIt! system is currently down. This affects access to the ejournals search page and all linking to ejournals from the databases and the GIL Catalog. Access to ejournals is therefore currently not available. We are working on this problem and will restore access as soon as possible.
