My former employer, ProQuest, just posted the latest version of PERSI. If you haven’t checked out PERSI lately, now would be a good time to do it.
ANN ARBOR, Mich., September 29, 2006 — ProQuest Information and Learning and Allen County Public Library (Ft. Wayne, IN) add another milestone in their longstanding alliance with the release of a significant amount of new data in the Periodical Source Index (PERSI). With this update, PERSI now contains nearly 2 million citations from over 6,500 periodicals published in the United States, Canada, and abroad. The new release includes indexing for over 235,000 articles from 2004 and 2005. No other index covers periodical research in local history and genealogy as extensively as PERSI.
