ProQuest Central

The NYIT Library is currently conducting a trial of the electronic database ProQuest Central until June 15, 2009. Your feedback is instrumental in helping us decide if this is a valuable resource to the NYIT community.

ProQuest Central is the largest aggregated full-text database in the market today totaling more than 11,710 electronic titles—with over 8,800 titles in full text. It serves as the central resource for researchers at all levels in all markets.

While ProQuest Central provides access to millions of much-coveted full text articles from thousands of scholarly journals, it also provides access to information not available in other aggregated resources such as:

  • Over 400 full text U.S., Canadian and international newspapers including exclusive access to the full text of The Wall Street Journal and Los Angeles Times
  • Nearly 30,000 full text dissertations in the areas of business, psychology, physical sciences, health, education and more, helping end users build a more robust results set
  • Concise business information from nearly 9,000 market reports across 43 industries in 40 countries, spanning the UK, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, and Latin America.

ProQuest Central is designed to be the single-most used database in the library and beyond. It boasts over 160 subjects including core subject areas such as: Business and economics, Health and medical, News and world affairs, Science, Education, Technology, and more.
