“ProQuest brings these important medical journals to our databases to support our very significant and growing market in Spain and other Spanish-speaking areas. Electronic Spanish-language medical materials are scarce.  Users will value having access to these prestigious titles,” said Rod Gauvin, ProQuest senior vice president, marketing and publishing.

The new titles review in detail the latest developments in Spanish health affairs and progress in disease treatment worldwide.  They include:  Acta Pediátrica Española, El Farmacéutico Hospitales, Folia Clínica en Obstetricia y Ginecología, PA/AP Presión Arterial, and Química clínica.

The full-text titles will be available ProQuest Health and Medical Complete™ with a backfile extending to January 2004.  Subscribers can sign up for the ProQuest specialized email notification lists at: http://www.proquest.com/proquest/em-notecontent.shtml to receive notification when the titles are loaded and available.
