ProQuest has acquired UK-based Expert Information. Together, they will expand the global reach of ProQuest’s dissertations publishing program with Expert Information’s Index to Theses and Theses.com.

We found this news on Knowledge Speak in their article, “ProQuest acquires UK-based Expert Information.” Currently, Expert Information abstracts and indexes more than a half million dissertations and theses, covering more than seventy years. Now the content will be available globally to meet the needs of researchers.

Chosen by the United States Library of Congress as the official archive of American dissertations, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses encompasses more than one quarter of a billion pages. With this volume of data, a strong taxonomy is needed to ensure the integrity of the indexing and the findability of the data.
