Over the years, ProQuest has acquired the companies, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (CSA) and Chadwyck Healey.  For the past year, ProQuest has been developing a new search interface which they want to apply to all of their databases as well as those acquired from CSA and Chadwyck Healey.  The migration to the new interface has been in place for several months, and the Baylor University Libraries have now switched to the new ProQuest interface for the following resources:

• ABI/INFORM Complete
• American Periodicals
• BioOne Abstracts & Indexes
• British Periodicals
• ComDisDome
• Current research@ Baylor University Library
• Ecology Abstracts — Not renewed, July 1, 2011
• ERIC
• Ethnic Newswatch
• International Index to Music Periodicals Full Text
• International Index to the Performing Arts
• Latin American Newsstand
• Linguistics and Language Behavior Abstracts
• National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) Abstracts Database
• Physical Education Index
• PILOTS
• ProQuest Dissertations & Theses
• ProQuest Entrepreneurship
• ProQuest Historical Annual Reports
• Proquest Historical Newspapers the New York Times
• Social Services Abstracts
• Sociological Abstracts
• Wall Street Journal

As ProQuest continues to migrate their family of resources into the new interface, we will make the appropriate changes.
