Researchers at any level of expertise can search by keyword, Boolean logic, topic, or publication. Power searchers can use the renowned ProQuest® indexing to construct targeted queries. Marked lists make it easy to save articles. And users can view, print, or email any article in one easy step.

Our new ProQuest® Smart Search feature analyzes your search, and then offers suggestions for related topics and publications by comparing your search terms to the available index terms, index term pairs, and publications for the database(s) you’re searching. Suggested Topics appear in order by relevance (best suggestions and matches first) and often contain pairs of index terms to help focus results. As you add terms to narrow your search, a bread-crumb trail appears allowing you to easily backtrack to earlier terms.

My Research Summary lets educators and students create durable links to content in ProQuest. Educators can save these summaries to their desktops and use them to create lesson plans, reading lists, topical pages, and more. Students can use the links in multimedia presentations, web pages, and research summaries.
