News & Events

The new search platform for ProQuest has been implemented across IU Libraries. Among other improvements, the new interface enables you to cross-search some or all ProQuest databases simultaneously. This has also allowed us to create groupings of databases by topic or format (for example, historical newspapers and journals, as illustrated). The new search screen provides improved searching functionality, as well as more information about what you can find in each database.

• To find the search screen that guides you through limits to your search terms, click the link for Advanced Search.

• The initial release includes databases on the current ProQuest platform, CSA Illumina databases, and some Chadwyck-Healey databases (British Periodicals, IIMP, and IIPA). Our ProQuest subscription includes 45 databases.

• View the full list of all databases moving to the new platform. Additional databases will be migrated over the coming year.

• For helpful information, refer to Proquest’s training and support materials.

The new platform may result in changes that will impact some users of ProQuest databases. If you experience difficulties, contact us so that we can work with you and the vendor to resolve any issues.
