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.

• LexisNexis Statistical is now Proquest Statistical

• LexisNexis U.S. Serial Set Digital Collection (Congressional Publications) is now Proquest U.S. Serial Set Digital collection
