ProQuest MARC Records


Connect your users to ProQuest ® journals-direct from your library's online catalog.

ProQuest MARC Records will give library users access to your electronic journal holdings-straight from your library's OPAC. Links from your OPAC to ProQuest journals are provided by CONSER catalog records in MARC format for easy loading. (CONSER is a standard for high-quality bibliographic records for serials; for more information, see http://lcweb.loc.gov/acq/conser/.)

How it works

For a nominal per-record fee, ProQuest MARC Records delivers a set of bibliographic records describing the full-text titles available in your ProQuest subscription. Durable Links (URLs) are embedded in the 856 field of every record. Once you add these to your OPAC, library users can click on a journal title for a Search-for-Publication screen that lists the available issues.

How you benefit

  • Every catalog user can find the ProQuest publications you hold, complete with direct hyperlinks to the ProQuest system itself


  • Your systems librarian gets a turnkey solution with convenient monthly updates


  • You receive a script for the proxy server that identifies authorized users through a password-based authentication process
