Date: March 31st 2020

Dear Colleagues,
The New Jersey State Library has negotiated at home access of HeritageQuest for New Jersey residents without a library card.  This access will be in place for as long as the current COVID-19 situation exists.  Please add the following link to the databases page on your website:  
 
https://www.heritagequestonline.com/barcode?aid=28278 
 
When users visit that page they will be prompted for a library barcode.  The barcode used must be the following:
 
NJCOVID12345678
 
Users with library barcodes cannot use their own barcode to access this resource.  Only the barcode above will work.  
 
Please note that ProQuest has requested that access t o this resource be somewhat restricted.  We suggest that you not publish the barcode on your website, but have users email someone on your staff to request the barcode.  In that way we can be sure that only New Jersey residents are accessing the resource.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best regards,

Bob Keith
Director of Library Law, State Aid, and Statistics
New Jersey State Library
