Briefs #1: ProQuest and Allen County Public Library Partner on New PERSI Release; Soonr: First Skype and Now WebEx For Mobile
+ Downloadable Video Comes to North Suburban Library System Outside Chicago (via OverDrive)
Personal Note from Gary: This was the library system that got me hooked on libraries, reference and reference books, and info access while growing up.
ProQuest Information and Learning and Allen County Public Library add another milestone in their longstanding alliance with the release of a significant amount of new data in the Periodical Source Index (PERSI). With this update, PERSI now contains nearly 2 million citations from over 6,500 periodicals published in the United States, Canada, and abroad. The new release includes indexing for over 235,000 articles from 2004 and 2005. No other index covers periodical research in local history and genealogy as extensively as PERSI.
Many researchers have access to PERSI via HeritageQuestOnline available via remote access from their local library.
+ Mobile: SoonR Powers WebEx Mobile
We already use SoonR to access files on our computer via our SmartPhone and now can also make calls with SoonR and Skype. Btw, SoonR is available for the Mac.
