I'm sure Proquest thinks its recent purchase is great, but how will it affect us? In the latest American Libraries there is an article about this and I found a link on the web to ProQuest Acquires WebFeat.
According to the AL article, "Webfeat will be under the leadership of Serials Solutions' general manager Jane Burke, the company said in a statement, and the strengths of Webfeat's and Serials Solutions' federated search platforms will be combined to create a single, market-leading solution. The new platform will debut in early 2009, providing libraries with more power and efficiency in accessing their data pools".
Hmmmm. Sounds like this is just over the...Horizon.......

:\ We do still have that product don't we? Shows you how invaluable I find it.
=:< I hate to sound negative but, I believe it will not be useful anymore then it is used less now by internal and external customers. Until these companies include the graphics which accompanied the original article, customers will be turned off not matter what. Yes, you can get some articles in PDF, but that is not always available on major article and from major magazines.
