[Eril-l] Music Magazine Archive

Wed Jan 26 15:34:08 PST 2022

My ProQuest rep confirmed the Music Magazine Archive is now included in
Entertainment Industry Magazine Archive. ProQuest sent out a communication
back in the fall with information about the change. I don't recall seeing
it so I've included it in full below for others who may not have seen it
and are interested in the details.

*Message from ProQuest re Music Magazine Archive*

EIMA IV Customer Letter

Dear <Customer>,

I am writing to you today to inform you about an upcoming change to the way
you access the Music Magazine Archive collections you previously purchased
from NA Publishing.  In 2018, ProQuest acquired the digital files that NA
Publishing had produced for these collections before they ceased
operations.  Since then, ProQuest has funded the continued hosting of that
content on the original NA Publishing site to ensure that none of their
customers lose access.  We are now in a position, however, to make this
material available on the ProQuest Platform, through our Entertainment
Industry Magazine Archive database.  *This will require someone at your
library to make a URL change in your system*, as we are not able to set an
automatic redirect on your existing URL.  The new URL is:
https://search.proquest.com/eima/.  *This new URL will go live on September
30, 2021*.  *The NA Publishing URL will be active until December 31, 2021,
at which time it will be shut down.*

Legacy usage statistics will have to be gathered prior to this switch off.
Usage statistics will start to accumulate for you, once you begin to use
the new URL on the ProQuest Platform, and you can retrieve those in the
normal manner that you retrieve other ProQuest Platform database
statistics.

MARC records will also be available via the ProQuest Administrator Module.
http://admin.proquest.com

Now that you are able to access these 23 music titles from the ProQuest
Platform, your end users will have the benefit of cross searching this
material with other ProQuest databases, and have the experience of a modern
research platform!  You will have until December 31, 2021 to update your
URL, but we encourage you to do this right away!  Your new access URL is
https://search.proquest.com/eima/.

If you have questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly.
