Yes, you can get usage statistics (full-text views), but you have to request them from your sales rep.

Hi Robin,

 

We have the following newspapers in digital microfilm:

 

Los Angeles Times

Wall Street Journal

Washington Post

Houston Chronicle

Chicago Tribune

Barron’s

USA Today

 

Unfortunately, Houston Chronicle is no longer available through ProQuest.  They have yet to provide the perpetual access to this newspaper. 

 

The usage is very low but these are only click-thru numbers from Serials Solutions.  ProQuest does not provide usage.  The prices have been pretty stable.  Also, it’s not a searchable database.  This might explain the low usage. 

 

Let me know if you need more info.

Hello,

 

Is anyone using the Proquest Digital Microfilm and if so would you mind giving feedback on how it has worked out for you?  I would appreciate anything you have to offer.  Our microfilm budget is very large and we are looking to change or make major cutbacks.

 

 

Thanks, Robin
