Streamlined login, redesigned book detail pages, and new file naming conventions make it easier for researchers to find and use ebooks

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, October 10, 2017 –ProQuesthas again teamed with students and other researchers to make the experience of using the Ebook Central®更高效的平台,有效的和有价值的。The popular ebook platform has enhanced its book detail pages to boost usability with simplified workflows, more chapter-level capabilities, and improved file naming conventions that make it easy to organize downloaded resources.

Libraries that offer Ebook Central will deliver an enriched experience to their users.例如,用户现在可以连接到对研究或分类的确切内容 - 在章节和子校准级别 - 允许它们更好地利用平台上可用的电子书。“书籍详细信息”页面提供详细的可用性,描述性和书目信息。可以扩展内容表以快速查看所需电子书部分的章节子部分和零。一个心理学学生称它“非常令人惊讶地拥有我可能需要的所有信息。”

Once users find the chapter or subsection they need, they can read online or download a DRM-free file using a new streamlined login process. New automatic file naming conventions mirror book and chapter titles and help users keep track of the content that they download. A computer science student reviewing the changes said, “I like how it’s organized. It’s easier to find stuff this way. You can save memory on your computer because you don’t have to download the whole book.”

“Students tell us these new enhancements make them more productive by helping them focus on the most important aspects of the research process,”said Kathy Masnik, Vice President of Product Management, ProQuest Books.“图书馆可以依靠Proquest来连续丰富电子书中央平台,以便它始终提供最优惠的最终用户体验。”
