[Eril-l] Music Magazine Archive

[Barbara Dietsch]

Hi Kathleen,

Thanks for the confirmation that the access issue is originating at ProQuest. And thanks, Karen about the possibility of the database changing to Entertainment Industry Magazine Archive. That really helps!

I have reached out to our rep.

Barb

Hi Barbara,

Thanks for bringing this up; we have an entry for Music Magazine Archive in our database list but I just checked and the link is broken. I got email last June from our consortium that the archive was acquired by ProQuest after NA Publishing ceased operations.PQ initially left it on the original platform but then the registration for the site expired so they moved it to their own platform. The address we got and that worked at the time was https://mma.proquest.com<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/mma.proquest.com__;!!OToaGQ!-vVlYs8GR2oftX4s0uhzD_Zwojv2VCAnqNNGXSfKnEYBi5UGMbzSEa9VGWp6L9Da5CSPYQ$>. That's the link we have in our database record that is broken.

I just tried searching the list of ProQuest databases<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/about.proquest.com/en/content-solutions/databases/__;!!OToaGQ!-vVlYs8GR2oftX4s0uhzD_Zwojv2VCAnqNNGXSfKnEYBi5UGMbzSEa9VGWp6L9D9QkMf3g$> and did not see it listed. I'm going to reach out to our ProQuest rep to see if she knows what happened to this database.

Good afternoon,

This is an inquiry for the libraries that still have Music Magazine Archive listed as an available database. Does anyone here have an active website for the database?

To explain a bit, Image Data Conversion LLC acquired NA Publishing which maintained the content/website for Music Magazine Archive and a few other databases. In my investigation, it appears that NA Publishing and Image Data Conversion LLC have gone bankrupt. Does anyone know if there was a purchaser for Music Magazine Archive when they went bankrupt and ceased operations?

All contact #s for both NA Publishing and  Image Data Conversion LLC have been disconnected and websites have become inactive.

See below post regarding this from the blog, Two-Year Talk:

Thanks for any information that can be shared.

Best,
Barb
