Expertly Curated Librarian Lists for Modern Collection Development

LibLists, short for Library Lists, is a ProQuest Books initiative designed to highlight the expert collection development skills of academic librarians. These librarian-curated ebook lists reflect both deep expertise and a passion for supporting emerging research trends. By encouraging collaboration and featuring diverse perspectives, LibLists enable libraries to develop comprehensive, relevant collections across key disciplines. Whether you’re expanding or refining your collection, LibLists offer reliable, curated support for your decision-making process.

Librarians can browse LibLists on Ebook Central under the Curated Topics section in LibCentral, OASIS, and Rialto.

Customer Resources

Partnering with ProQuest to design the Animal Allies LibList, a subject I care deeply about, was both easy and fulfilling. Their team was incredibly supportive, making the process smooth and enjoyable. I’m excited to share this knowledge with other librarians and enrich our collective efforts in fostering learning.
