Information resources and technologies provider ProQuest, US, has announced that France's Université Lumière Lyon II has migrated to the latest version of the ProQuest platform, which allows students and faculty to search, discover, gather and share content. According to the company, users will now be able to access all the University's ProQuest resources in a single, unified search - on campus or remotely - and work with the content using the platform's sophisticated tools.
Université Lumière Lyon II was among the first of ProQuest customers around the world to preview the platform. Each is setting its own schedule for migration to enable a smooth transition.
The new ProQuest platform was reportedly created from the ground up. Its experience-based design has been informed through studies of student research habits, surveys of more than 6,000 end users, focus groups and individual interviews, plus ongoing interactions with users, librarians, administrators and faculty worldwide. 'Personas' - a dozen highly detailed user profiles - were created from the research enabling the agile development process to be guided by users throughout.
