Another ProQuest Milestone - 2 Million PERSI Citations

The following is a press release from ProQuest:

HeritageQuest Online (HQO) users now have access to still more
data from the renowned Periodical Source Index (PERSI), due to
the alliance between ProQuest and the Allen County (Indiana)
Public Library, home of PERSI.

The new PERSI release incorporates 21st-century data, with
indexing for over 235,000 articles from genealogical periodicals
published in 2004 and 2005. Altogether, the PERSI content
available within HQO now totals 2 million citations from over
6,500 periodicals.

PERSI is the standard for periodical research in local history
and genealogy, with indexing for periodicals written in English
from 1800 onward. It helps users find articles about families,
local history and records, and genealogical methodology, both
quickly and easily.

The HQO interface lets users search PERSI for surnames, places,
and how-to advice. It's the only library source that provides
online access to PERSI.

resources, please visit the ProQuest website.
