These enhancements include:
- A new starting point for research: Now, users can begin their search from the open web by visiting search.proquest.com. Through their search results, they’ll be delivered straight to the resources their library subscribes to.
- New preview feature: Users can search, find and preview the content of nearly a billion ProQuest documents directly from the open web for better discoverability.
- Broader discovery of open access content: Researchers can access an ever-expanding universe of scholarly full-text open access sources directly – all indexed and delivered with the same level of quality and precision as ProQuest’s subscription content.
These enhancements are a major step toward improving discoverability, simplifying access for distance learning, and driving more users to their library’s subscribed content.
“As librarians, we are always concerned with helping students find the right content, but even more so in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis,” said Michael Gonzalez, Librarian at the University of Technology Sydney in Australia. “How students move to and from the library’s resources and how we capture students outside of these environments is a constant challenge for a library’s discovery strategy. The ProQuest platform enhancements provide safe, familiar and intuitive entry points, along with quick and frictionless access to full-text content.”
