"Libraries are dealing with end users that are increasingly frustrated when starting their research - not knowing which resource to start with, or which will deliver the most full text resources," said Senior Vice President, Higher Education Publishing, Suzanne BeDell.  "ProQuest Central offers the most full text scholarly publications in a single database.  As the crown jewel of our aggregated offering, we anticipate that it will be the single most used database across disciplines and will give libraries a solid starting place for the diverse needs of their patrons.  The launch of ProQuest Central helps fulfill our mission to create indispensable research solutions that connect people and information." 

ProQuest Central's coverage of over 160 subject areas include core disciplines such as  business and economics,  medical and health, news and world affairs, science, education, technology, humanities, social sciences, psychology, literature, law, and nursing.

Multiple content types are available, including scholarly and general reference journals, newspapers, full-text dissertations, company annual reports, industry reports, country reports, working papers, and more.
