March 31st, 2011 by Kat McGrath | Comments Off on ProQuest Acquires CIS & UPA from LexisNexis


Several months ago, ProQuest acquired the acclaimed Congressional Information Service (CIS®) and University Publications of America (UPA) product lines from LexisNexis. You can read more about this in the press release.
UBC Library subscribes to two collections involved in the transfer. After a bumpy transition, we’re happy to report our access is now active on the new platforms.
