ProQuest® U.S. Serial Set Digital Collection
Features
Through the ProQuest U.S. Serial Set Digital Collection, researchers are able to execute full-text searches across the entire collection of the U.S. Serial Set (through 1969) to discover previously inaccessible documents. Searches will run against OCR-generated ASCII text; each result will consist of metadata describing the retrieved document and a PDF image.
