Where should I look?

Looking for a credible search engine? Students at Wyoming Seminary Upper School in Kingston, Pa. are accessing Proquest Historical Newspapers, an Internet database that creates specialized information resources and technologies, for Historical research. Developed in the 1980’s, Proquest allows students to have access to billions of primary history sources inside newspapers dating back into the early twentieth century. With a simple click of a button, all of these sources can be in its users’ hands.

ProQuest Historical Newspaper has digital archived full text and image articles dating from the early 1900s. Ivy Miller, a Librarian at the Wyoming Seminary Upper School Kirby Library, admitted her appreciation of using an online database. With access to these sources, “Students can link to a lot of qualified sources [simultaneously],” said Miller. Every issue of these articles is complete with all bibliographical information and the complete newspaper cover-to-cover. All newspapers can also be easily downloaded into a preview format and printed. Students and teachers find Proquest as a useful source of relevant historical data. “No matter what the subject matter contains, I go to Proquest,” said Jack Cartwright, a senior at Wyoming Seminary College Preparatory School in Kingston, Pa, when asked about the database. His reasons for using Proquest were simple. He said, “it is not only easy to use, but the articles on the database are also the most credible sources on the Internet.” Proquest’s unique collection of newspapers and other relevant sources is both authentic and sophisticated, because it provides the tools needed that to access information easy.

Proquest has been recognized on an international level one of the top databases in the world. This past November, ProQuest was named to the EContent 100 list of companies that matter most in the digital content industry. Also in 2007, ProQuest won the distinguished Red Hat Innovation Award, which is given to the world’s leading provider of open source solutions overcoming technology challenges. The International Information Industry honored ProQuest Smart Search, one of the features of the database, with Best Specialist Search Product in 2006. With those credentials, why not give Proquest a chance for that next paper’s research?
