ProQuest Information and Learning (www.proquest.co.uk) announced a new agreement to distribute 103 scholarly journals published by Springer-Verlag (http://www.springer-ny.com). Key titles in science, technology, medicine, economics, and business are included in the licensing agreement. Many of the journals are newly available online; titles formerly available only through a single distributor may now be accessed in ProQuest, as well.

The Springer titles will be available in ProQuest's ABI/INFORM® family of online business periodical databases, Academic Research Library™, and ProQuest Science, Technology, and Medical databases. Most of the new titles will be available early in 2004; all 73 of the science, technology, and medicine titles are new to electronic distribution. The other 30 titles, covering economics and business, were previously available only through a single distributor; they will be available through ProQuest, as well, beginning in August 2004.
