9 Reasons Librarians Love ProQuest One Academic

Are you tired of overspending your budget on individual collections located on many different platforms? Are you wasting precious library resources and time training students and faculty to get them up to speed on multiple platforms? Are you overwhelmed with multiple invoices throughout the year? ProQuest One Academic can solve these problems and more. Here are nine simple reasons librarians love it.

9. It’s budget-friendly

Get affordable access to ProQuest’s largest and most-used multidisciplinary collections. By combining ProQuest’s four core multi-disciplinary products – ProQuest Central, Academic Complete, Academic Video Online and ProQuest Dissertations & Theses Global – into one, ProQuest One Academic can add value and save money.

8. It saves time

ProQuest One Academic saves administrative time by reducing the number of platforms to configure and manage. With these essential products on one platform, you can spend time on what matters most to your library, not troubleshooting questions from patrons. Since the resource combines four products into one experience, it means you only manage one account and invoice.

7. It integrates with learning management systems (LMS)

Content on the ProQuest platform can now be integrated with learning management systems (LMS), including Canvas and Moodle – with more to come.
