MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, March 15, 2016 – After months of intensive testing with library beta partners and researchers from around the world, ProQuest launched its highly-anticipated ProQuest Ebook Central™ today. With the widest selection of content, the most flexibility, and backed with the market’s most sophisticated administrative engine, Ebook Central enables libraries to significantly improve users’ ebook research outcomes and boost the productivity of their staff.

“We’re delivering on a promise we made to librarians to boost the power of ebooks for research,” said Kevin Sayar, Senior Vice President and General Manager. “Ebook Central does exactly that with a platform that’s flexible enough to respond to any environment and tools that empower librarians and users to achieve their most important goals."

Ebook Central’s development has been guided by intensive study of the ebook workflows of librarians and researchers and ongoing market surveys that have explored acquisition trends, ebook use by subject, as well as routines and frustrations about working with ebooks. The result is a platform that delivers improvements to virtually every aspect of the ebook experience.

At the core of Ebook Central is an exhaustive selection of authoritative, scholarly content — 790,000 titles and 1,350 imprints from more than 650 publishers on one platform.
