25 April 2007

 

 

The next ProQuest(R) platform enhancement release will be on April 28, 2007. A twelve (12) hour maintenance window will take place to install these exciting new enhancements. The window will begin Saturday, April 28, 2007, at 7:00 PM PDT to Sunday, April 29, 2007 at 7:00 AM PDT.

 

Enhancements include:

 

-- ProQuest(R) Smart Search enhancements - We are replacing the current "Suggested Publications" link box with one that displays any publication whose title exactly matches the user's search query. Also, more "Suggested Topics" will be displayed on the search results page.

 

-- Citation/Abstract display - We are moving the placement of available document formats to the right side of the abstract page making it easier for users to quickly identify other display formats available.

 

-- Three (3) new interface languages - Hungarian, Thai and Indonesian interfaces will be available, bringing to a total of 17 interface

languages for ProQuest!   Article translation now supports additional languages - Users will now be able to translate articles from Spanish, Portuguese, French and German into English.

 

 

The following products will be unavailable during this window:

 

-- ProQuest interface products, ProQuest Historical Newspapers (traditional and graphical K12 interface), American Periodicals Series

 

-- "Digital Vault" products, including the Early English Books Online, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, and Digital Sanborn Maps

 

-- Chadwyck Healey products - including the Gerritsen Collection, Policy File, and DNSA
