ProQuest Launches Displaced Researchers Program
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ProQuest
has launched a program to provide no-cost access to its databases for
students and researchers who have been separated from their universities
and libraries because of travel bans or other immigration changes. The
company has an email hotline ContinueMyResearch@proquest.com where these displaced researchers can arrange for access to the materials they need to continue their work.
"ProQuest is an open and inclusive organization that takes its role in supporting research and learning very seriously," said Kurt Sanford, ProQuest CEO. "We're doing whatever we can to mitigate the interruptions facing our community of students and scholars around the world."
The program resolves authentication
problems displaced researchers may face when trying to access to their
institution's holdings remotely. Individuals will be provided with
personal credentials, as well as direct access to ProQuest support teams
for help. There is no limit to the number of databases that can be
requested. Free RefWorks accounts are also available to help with
long-distance collaboration and to save, manage and organize their work.
To request access, students, faculty and other researchers can email ProQuest at ContinueMyResearch@proquest.com with
the name of the university or library they have been separated from,
along with the name of their research supervisor or faculty advisor.
ProQuest representatives will work directly with impacted individuals or
their advisors to set up online, no cost access to all databases needed
to continue their studies or research.
