Off-Campus Access – Individual Resources

When you register for ProQuest access, you will be asked to provide your school or district's IP ranges. This will authenticate users onsite. For off-campus access, you will need to provide students with an institutional-level Access Name and Access Code provided to you by ProQuest. Please Submit a Case for support if you have registered for access but do not know this information. 

The following URLs prompt students to enter institutional-level login information and may be promoted on your website for off-campus use and linked to the above resource button/icon images.

Schools & Educators Complete and Ebook Reference Collection content is available remotely through the ProQuest platform. Simply go to ProQuest Central Student, select the Changes Databases tab from the home screen and then select Ebook Central.
