Accessing ProQuest Central and getting the full text of articles

  • A link to ProQuest Central has been placed in your college VLE. You should be able to access this with your normal college username and password
  • Please do not try accessing ProQuest Central through search engines like Google as you will not be able to get to the full text of any journal articles.
  • ProQuest Central offers full-text access to 17,000 journals but also offers abstracts (summary of content not the full text for 3,000 journals). To access full text, look for results which have Full-text or Full-text PDF links.
