ProQuest spies growth with Serials Solutions

Acquisition will help aggregated database publisher boost growth after
flat first-half results in 2004, reports Bobby Pickering from its
Cambridge HQ

By Bobby Pickering [20-09-2004]

Information aggregator ProQuest Information and Learning (PQ I+L) has
acquired Seattle-based Serials Solutions, a supplier of e-journal
management software to academic, government and corporate libraries.  The
deal will allow ProQuest to offer its existing aggregated database
customers a range of e-management tools to rival those offered by the
likes of EBSCO and Swets. Serials Solutions' products include E-Journals
Access & Management Suite, A-to-Z Title List and Journal Linker.  
ProQuest staff were keeping tight-lipped about the timescale for
integrating the two companies' services. But once the development is
complete, ProQuest users will be able to link to articles in journals they
subscribe to that are not held in the ProQuest proprietary databases,
allowing for more complete searching.  See link for rest of article.
