Information resources and technologies provider ProQuest, US, has acquired BNI, a database for nursing and midwifery in the UK. BNI - shortened from British Nursing Index - has been compiled through a partnership of the libraries at Bournemouth University, Poole Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the Royal College of Nursing and Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust.
ProQuest has built a long-term relationship with BNI through its distribution via Dialog, its business unit serving the professional market. Indexing more than 240 English-language titles including essential international nursing and midwifery journals and selective content from medical, allied health and management titles, BNI is known for reliability and precision.
Its editorial process relies upon indexing by librarians with experience in providing information services to nurses and midwives. The database is updated monthly, making it one of the most current bibliographic resources of its kind. ProQuest plans to invest in BNI, making it a full-text resource that expands well beyond the UK market. Content will continue to be accessed through the new ProQuest Dialog service and will ultimately be available on the all-new unified ProQuest platform, where it will be cross-searchable with all ProQuest content.
