ProQuest Congressional Migration Completed September 21, 2012

October 2, 2012 Author: Ellen MeltzerCategories: Tags:

ProQuest discontinued its legacy platform and switched over to the new platform exclusively on Friday, 9/21, at which point users were automatically redirected from the old platform URLs to the new platform.

Systemwide resources affected included:

  • ProQuest Congressional
  • LexisNexis Congressional Historical Indexes (Tier 2)
  • ProQuest Congressional Hearings Digital Collection: Retrospective A
  • ProQuest Congressional: Unpublished Hearings Digital Collection (1973-1979)

Due to some new-platform functionality that was not in place until the old platform was turned off, CDL migrated with the automatic ProQuest transition on 9/21 instead of manually switching the systemwide licensed resource access points beforehand (as had been planned originally.)

Following the switch on 9/21, CDL updated the main PID http://uclibs.org/PID/6941 (and by extension http://uclibs.org/PID/8190 ) to point to http://search.proquest.com/congressional.

Please check with your campus contacts for more information regarding locally licensed resources.
