ProQuest Ebook Central combines the EBL and ebrary platforms and serves as UNT's primary platform for ProQuest e-books. You can place these e-books in folders, add notes to them, print them (within limits), and transfer them to your computer or other device. It is recommended, if you plan to close your browser at any time, that you download the e-book to your own device. You will need Adobe Digital Editions.

This page provides suggestions, guides, and tutorials to help you locate, use, and troubleshoot Ebook Central materials.

The information on this page came directly from ProQuest. If you need further assistance with Ebook Central, please visit their website.

Patrons using a screen reader may turn on accessibility mode themselves – no librarian or tech support needed!

For patrons who don’t use a screen reader but have accessibility needs, accessibility mode can be requested for their account at ebooksupport@proquest.com.
