What if you could offer an ebook experience that’s intuitive for you and your patrons? What if you could manage all aspects of your collection — discovery, selection, acquisition, administration, and reporting — all on one platform? And what if that platform provided access to more than a million ebooks, with 100,000 new titles added each year? It’s all possible with Ebook Central from ProQuest.
Enhanced “book detail” page to help students pinpoint the exact content they need for research or classwork — at both the chapter and subchapter level — and access it online or download it for later use.
Clear table-of-contents-level prompts for reading online or downloading, plus DRM-free chapters with file names that reflect the chapter title.
More intuitive features, including a simplified login process and informational dialog boxes that provide helpful hints.
Libraries who subscribe to Academic Complete®, ProQuest’s flagship ebook resource, can now provide an enhanced user experience for their patrons in the Ebook Central® platform, thanks to a new integration with the Syndetics Unbound™ service.
