Self hosting Proquest historical newspapers

[Curt Witcher]

We would be interested in knowing this as well. We are facing the same challenge.

Many thanks.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Self hosting Proquest historical newspapers


We have noticed that some of our Proquest historical newspapers have high annual platform fees in comparison to their usage.  We would like to investigate self-hosting these newspapers, and the license for them allows this.

However, I can't find any documentation for this on the Proquest site, and their technical support only had information on the online version.

Has anyone hosted the PQ newspapers on a server in their library?  Could you share some of the technical considerations and details?

Advance thanks!
