Proquest Central

Post by nelmit » Fri Apr 01, 2011 6:28 pm

Great news for anybody with a Glasgow Library card. You can now access PROQUEST from home or at any Glasgow Library.
http://www.glasgowlife.org.uk/libraries ... /home.aspx

I've only just got home and haven't explored it yet but it does give you access to The Scotsman from 1817 - 1950. It also has an obituary search - I'd be interested to see if this works for anyone (I don't have anybody I can search for).

Can't believe they are the first in Scotland to subscribe! :D

Regards,
Annette
