Penny -

I spoke with the guys at SerSol when this news hit - I was greatly
concerned. But they assured me that this was a good thing, and that
Proquest will leave them alone to do what they do best: develop new
products. As I understand it, the biggest plus is that the management of
the company will be taken off their shoulders. That was becoming a big
burden.

Peter McCracken sent out an email explaining; I don't have it still but
someone else might.

Subject: [SERIALST] Serials Solutions bought by ProQuest

I saw a press release announcing that Serials Solutions has been bought
by ProQuest posted on Yahoo.com. Here is the link: ProQuest spies growth
with Serials Solutions http://uk.news.yahoo.com/040920/175/f2y4v.html

Does anybody know anything about this? We are a Serials Solutions user
and are interested in any information. Thanks,
