ProQuest will be upgrading its systems infrastructure to improve performance, security, and overall reliability. Work is scheduled to begin at 03:00 GMT on Sunday 17 January and will last for up to 8 hours.

During this time, access to ProQuest research databases including ABI/INFORM, EconLit, GeoRef, IBSS and LION will not be available, and users will be re-directed to a webpage explaining the scheduled maintenance. Please note that RefWorks, the reference management tool, will also be unavailable during the upgrade window.

Apologies in advance for any inconvenience that may be caused.
