This summer the Scholars Portal Search interface which is used by many of our databases will be discontinued. Most of these databases will be moving to the new ProQuest interface. This new interface promises to help you “discover more”. As well, all of our existing ProQuest databases on the old ProQuest interface will be updated to this new interface.
The remainder of the databases on the Scholars Portal Search interface that are not part of the ProQuest family will be redirected to the appropriate vendor site.
Which databases will be affected?
- EconLIT
- Linguistics & Language Behavior Abstracts (LLBA)
- PAIS
- Philosopher’s Index
- PsycINFO
- Sociological Abstracts
- Canadian Newsstand
- CBCA
- Dissertations & Theses Full-Text
… and many more
What this means for you:
- Same content: no loss in coverage
- Updated interface with easier navigation using lightboxes
- Improved ability to refine searches
- All the same advanced features: special thesauri, ability to print, export to RefWorks, search alerts
For help with the transition:
- Quick Start Overview
- Brochure
- Contact our Research Help with any of your questions
When will this happen?
We will be starting to change our links over in early July and hope to have everything migrated by the end of the month.
