Add ProQuest Telecommunications Database
ProQuest Telecommunications Database is not available in PCI nor in the Alma CZ. Please add this collection to both.
2 votesHello,
I have inquired with our ProQuest colleagues about this collection. This is not a standalone collection and therefore if you have purchased this content will need to activate it via the ProQuest Central collection.
If you have any further questions, I believe these can be addressed via a Support Case either to Ex Libris or ProQuest.
Thank you,

Cambridge EBA - please add collection to CKB
Please add a collection for Cambridge EBA titles. Not all titles are available for EBA, so currently the options are to not activate (certainly not ideal), activate the collection for all Cambridge e-books and live with having titles active to which we don't have access (leads to user frustration), or activating collection for all Cambridge e-books and then deactivating the titles to which we don't have access (we don't have the staff time for that.)
