Two people using a tablet device

ProQuest is switching from Adobe Digital Editions to the Ebook Central Reader app as their ebook tool for downloading whole books and reading offline.

If you want to read ProQuest books on your personal device, without an internet connection, you’ll need to install the free app. No changes will be made to how you find ProQuest ebooks in Library Search or how you read them online in your web browser.
