University Libraries has decided to cancel subscription access to Ancestry.com and ProQuest Historical Chicago Tribune. The decision to cancel access was based on a high cost per use and a lack of use. As a substitute for Ancestry, we recommend using HeritageQuest Online as a substitution for the Ancestry resource.  Requests for ProQuest Historical Chicago Tribune should be submitted through ILL.
