A new Proquest/Dialog platform is to be launched soon, for databases formerly on the Dialog/Datastar platform.
There is a demonstration site available, with samples of some of the databases (see below) now at
http://www.dialog.com/migration(FYI: ERIC is available to TCD on the new ProQuest platform. TCD doesn't subscribe to Medline although it is included on this test site.)
