ProQuest Ebook Central

ProQuest Ebook CentralProQuest Ebook Central is a large collection of material spanning a healthy cross-section of topics with content compatible with almost any device. We always suggest that students use book-length material BEFORE looking at journal articles. This is because the books will present and place more information in context. For a new researcher, it often makes more sense to start with a book and then ‘fill in the gaps’ with articles.
