ProQuest is supporting libraries specialising in Asian Studies or interested in building their Chinese-language collection with carefully selected scholarly titles from renowned Chinese publishers and university presses – all available for perpetual access. Until now, acquiring a comprehensive, high quality collection of Chinese-language titles has been time-consuming and difficult for librarians. Now, ProQuest simplifies the acquisition process for librarians and improves the research experience for students, researchers, and faculty.
The available titles represent the start of an ongoing commitment by ProQuest, with new publishers added over time. ProQuest will begin on building this offering with publishers Huazhong University of Science & Technology Press (HUSTP), Peking University Press, China Intercontinental Press, China Economic Science Press, Hong Kong University Press and China Translation Publishing House.
These authoritative Chinese-language titles will be available on ProQuest's new Ebook Central, EBL and ebrary platforms. The Ebook Central platform launched earlier in 2016 and supports users with an intuitive, user-centric design that makes it faster and easier to discover, evaluate, and access titles while increasing user engagement with time-saving tools for note-taking, highlighting, and instant citing. Users can read online or take advantage of offline reading options including DRM free chapter downloads and full book downloads. Additionally, the user interface can be translated into traditional and simplified Chinese.
