JAMA & Archives Journals to Depart ProQuest

We wish to inform our colleagues in the library community that the JAMA: Journal of the American Medical Association and Archives Journals will no longer be available on the ProQuest platform effective December 31, 2005.

Two alternative platforms are available: HighWire Press and Ovid. The HighWire platform is our official gateway. HighWire, home to more than 800 of the world's leading journals, offers a variety of features important to researchers that were not available through ProQuest:
* Early-release articles, disseminated prior to the print publication date, provide online-only access to time-sensitive, critical content.
* Online-only content supplements are offered for many articles.
* Free access to cited articles (references) that are in HighWire hosted journals, plus links to full text via CrossRef or to abstracts in ISI or PubMed.
* Citations are downloadable to any of several citation managers including EndNote, Reference Manager, ProCite, BibTex, and Medlars formats.
* Collection searches are available in more than a hundred disease and journal section categories as well as by research or review article.
* Automated alerts can be set up for notification of newly published content on specific topics.
* PowerPoint slides are easily formatted from article tables, charts, and images.
* Citing article information is offered from ISI's Web of Science (WoS), even to institutions that do not license WoS

Ovid Technologies also will continue to provide access to JAMA & Archives. Ovid features sophisticated searching capabilities as well as linking to all LWW titles among more than 900 hosted scientific journals.
