The PG Library is thrilled to announce we now have access to additional resources from ProQuest, creating a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary research tool that now offers more than "just" articles. This comprehensive research point starts with ProQuest Central (which the PG Library has had for years). It adds three new components: Academic Video Online with 70,000 video titles spanning a wide range of subjects, eBook Central with an estimated 90,000 new titles (200,000+ total), and Dissertations & Theses Global with over 2.5 million dissertations and theses from universities around the world.
All links to "ProQuest Central" will be re-labeled to just "ProQuest" to represent the comprehensiveness of the platform and allow for future additions to integrate with this central link seamlessly.
You can also visit the individual new components with the links below.
This package of resources is also known as ProQuest One Academic. Below is an infographic with more details on the components of our newly enhanced version of ProQuest.
Additionally, we now have access to ProQuest Statistical Insight, a separate database that provides abstracting, indexing, and full text for publications from hundreds of public domain and licensed sources. The Statistical Insight Collection spans millions of full-text reports and more than 1 million published tables on thousands of different topics. It provides fast and easy access to statistical information produced by U.S. federal agencies, states, private organizations, and major intergovernmental organizations. It also offers broad perspectives and insight on long-term national trends and implications paired with the ability to narrow results. Whether users are looking for tables, statistical reports, publication abstracts, or datasets, results are ranked by relevance.
Now available in the PG Library! Issues & Controversies, from Infobase Learning and Facts on File, offers extensive, exclusive, and objective analysis of hundreds of today's hot topics and conflicts by presenting the key facts, arguments, history, and current context of today's most critical issues, along with a wealth of primary sources, videos, and relevant media coverage, making it an ideal resource for research papers, debate preparation, and persuasive writing assignments.
A cross-curricular resource, Issues & Controversies provides in-depth coverage of hot-button issues related to business, culture, education, health, media, politics, science, technology, and much more. Each article presents both sides of an issue clearly and without bias to inspire thought-provoking discussions. Entries begin with a "Pro/Con Article," and depending on the topic, the resources include primary sources, court cases, podcasts, videos, infographics, editorials, and news articles.
