ProQuest and Google Collaborate



Many students use databases such as EBSCOhost or JSTOR to find full text scholarly articles for projects, but there are others who prefer to use Google Scholar. Until recently, Google Scholar could only access content made available on the web, but now ProQuest and Google Scholar are teaming up to make researching much easier and expansive. Starting in Fall 2015, UNT Dallas students who prefer using Google Scholar will be able to access full text scholarly articles via ProQuest. As ProQuest stated in their press release, "ProQuest connects people with vetted, reliable information. Key to serious research, the company’s products are a gateway to the world’s knowledge including dissertations, governmental and cultural archives, news, historical collections and ebooks." (x) Opening up Google Scholar's access to ProQuest will give students a wider array of options in choosing between databases, which will in turn lead to better search results and even better research projects.
