Accessing ProQuest Central and getting the full text of articles

• You can find the ProQuest Central link on the Hallam Blackboard page. Use your Hallam username and password to log in. 
• Don't try accessing ProQuest Central through search engines like Google, as you won't be able to get to the full text of the journal articles.
• ProQuest Central offers full-text access to 17,000 journals but also offers abstracts (summary of content, not full text) for 3,000 journals. To access full text look for results which have Full-text or Full-text PDF links.
