ProQuest One Psychology: More of the content types users need, organized for research and learning success
Designed in collaboration with librarians, faculty and practitioners, this multiformat resource has an all-new approach to supporting this popular and growing discipline
The mental health crisis resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented demandi for mental health services globally, and the gap between need and access continues to widen due to a shortage of practitionersii. Universities are positioned to contribute to knowledge in the field, and help to fill the practitioner pipeline, as enrollments in psychology and counseling programs continue to riseiii.
Libraries play a key role in ensuring student success in learning and career preparation by providing access to authoritative content. Likewise, university researchers rely on the library for access to content that can inspire breakthroughs. The challenge is in supporting the broad variety of needs of psychology programs, from introductory courses, popular among non-majors filling their general educations requirements, to intensive research that advances the discipline.
ProQuest, part of Clarivate, is helping academic libraries address these wide-ranging needs with ProQuest One Psychology, the most comprehensive, multiformat library resource created for psychology and counseling.
A new approach to the design of library psychology resources
ProQuest One Psychology employs a new approach to the design of the library’s psychology resources. It curates the most valuable content – no matter the format – in one place and organizes it to match the way psychology students and researchers approach their work. The result is what Amanda Dykema-Engblade, Department Chair and Associate Professor of Psychology at Northeastern Illinois University, describes as a “an intuitive solution for the discipline, accessible on one platform with one-stop access to articles, books and videos.”

ProQuest One Psychology brings together scholarly journals, therapy videos and counseling transcripts, with articles, news and ebooks covering psychological conditions, therapy, research concepts, tools for measurement and more in a single destination.
