On July 2nd, several thousand of our ebooks will move from the ProQuest Ebook Central platform to the EBSCO and Taylor & Francis platforms. Links accessed through the Library website will be updated and remain functional. If you have bookmarked any links to items directly on the ProQuest platform, please repeat a search in the Library’s online catalog to find and access those items moving forward. For further information or assistance, please send us an email at aulibrarysearch@american.edu.
Will the Library stop using ProQuest completely?
As of July 2nd, while many ebooks will be moved to EBSCO and Taylor & Francis, there are still items (ex. Academic Complete ebooks) that will remain on ProQuest and available for access through the Library.
Will I have to pay to use EBSCO or Taylor & Francis ebooks?
Ebooks and other materials provided by the Library through EBSCO and Taylor & Francis will continue to be available at no cost just like they were while on Ebook Central.
I had saved the link to an ebook on ProQuest, but now when I click it I can’t access the resource anymore. What should I do?
Search for the ebook in our catalog in the sidebar on this page or on the library homepage.
What do I do if I have a question about the transition from ProQuest to EBSCO and Taylor & Francis and can’t find the answer anywhere?
Send us an email at aulibrarysearch@american.edu for further information or assistance related to ebook access and usage.

If you are looking for a particular ebook, search for the title or author in the 'AU Library Search' box on this page or in the library's Catalog by to see if we have access to it. If you are looking to browse or search for ebooks on a particular topic, take a look at some of the general or subject-specific ebook collections that we have available.
Virtually all the library's ebooks can be read in a browser. Many ebooks can be downloaded in whole or in part as PDFs. Some ebooks can be downloaded in EPUB format (requires an Adobe Digital Editions account or a compatible app).
