The content will be offered in ProQuest databases with no embargo, so users will be able to access current information within days of publication in the print edition.

“Rogers Publishing is Canada's largest publishing company and publisher of Canada's best known consumer magazines as well as many respected business and professional publications," said Rod Gauvin, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the ProQuest Division of ProQuest Information and Learning. "The addition of this quality content further expands our offerings of Canadian content and complements other resources available through our Canadian-based Micromedia ProQuest division."

Current coverage -- including both indexing and full text for the titles -- will appear in such ProQuest® databases as ABI/INFORM® Global, ProQuest Research Library^TM, and ProQuest 5000^TM. The agreement also confers rights to ProQuest to microfilm the titles as part of the company's extensive Serials in Microform program.

Key titles include Maclean's, Canadian Business, MoneySense, Chatelaine (French and English editions), Today's Parent, L'Actualité, and many more.

In addition, the agreement grants ProQuest rights to digitize backfiles (through 1950) of Canadian Business and Maclean's to distribute as part of the company’s Digital Vault^TM retrospective, full-image databases.
