It will come as no surprise that a product as vast as this, with titles that date backas early as 1905, represents a unique opportunity for the historian. Whetherreviewing some of the many thousand scholarly journal articles, looking back tospecific moments in time using newspapers from around the world, reading first-rate accounts and reports of milestone events or reviewing some of the manydiverse unique dissertation titles, users are never disappointed to find information ofinterest and relevance to their areas of historic research.

Users will discover a swathe of titles available for viewing in full text that started inthe early part of the 20th Century; (the earliest entry in ProQuest Central is a one-offdissertation record on the subject of Religion that dates to 1637).

Here are a few sample titles for which we holddeep back files:

SOCIETY

The study of Society and Culture opens up a whole realm of prospects for theresearcher. This is perhaps the most diverse field given consideration within the product,but also perhaps one of the most important. For it is the combination of titles that fallwithin this bracket that really add colour and depth to any topic being researched.

Sociologists in particular will find many useful topics covered here in depth. For example:

• Culture and social structure• Demography and human biology• Economic development• Environmental interactions• Evaluation research• Health, medicine and law• History and theory of sociology• Management and complex organisations• Mass phenomena and political

interactions• Methodology and research technology

• Policy, planning, forecasting andspeculation

• Radical sociology• Religion and science• Rural and urban sociology• Social development• Sociology of the arts, business

and education• Studies in violence and power• Welfare services• Women’s studies

• 102,798 academic journal articles• 64,661 newspaper articles• 48,347 trade publications• 35,581 magazine articles

• 2,034 reference/reports• 491 dissertations• 14 working papers

A very broad and un-refined search just for “Culture” reveals a fine array of differentsources the researcher can call upon, including*:

URE

Of course, any review of Society andCulture would not be completewithout mentioning some of theother fields of interest here, such aspolitics, education, religion and war,not to mention the effects oftechnology and computing.A number of specialiseddatabases have beenbundled into ProQuestCentral to cater specificallyto these topics.

Another interesting inclusionis the Variety ReviewDatabase, which researcherscan use to read reviews ofhundreds of films, includingclassics such as Gone withthe Wind, Casablanca, TheGodfather and Star Wars. In addition tothose reviews written at the time filmswere first released, users can also gain amodern perspective of opinions forreading the more recent reviews of thevery same films.

It is also worth highlighting the idiosyncratic nature of the researcher… who will oftenbe drawn off at a tangent to pursue interests of his own unrelated to his research!ProQuest Central is a superb product if you have a curious nature and often the mostinteresting articles users discover come through serendipitous meandering…

ProQuest Central is fun to explore and can be a great place to lose yourself as well!

“This resource is invaluable for my students,studying at both undergraduate andpostgraduate level. Those who are off-campus,studying for the Foundation Degree in Healthand Social Care find it particularly useful, asthey can easily gain access to full-text articleswithout having to visit the library. Theon-campus students use it also, as it meansthey don’t have to wade through printedjournals to find the information they need.

It is a very easy resource to use, and littletraining is required to be able to access usefulinformation. This is particularly important, asmany of my students are mature people whohave had little recent experience of education,and are not very confident with IT. Theacademics in the School of Health Studies alsouse this resource, and are happy torecommend it to their students.”Shirley Ward, Subject Librarian for Health Studies,Bolton University, Jan 2008

“ProQuest has proved to be one of the manydatabases I use when undertaking a literaturesearch. The facility often sources informationfrom journals I did not know existed. I can alsosee at a glance if full text/PDF formats areavailable. The email facility assists withaccessing materials from searches quickly. Iuse ProQuest in tandem with otherHealth/Education Databases, too, as I find thisbroadens the materials searched and providesemergent themes in some pieces of academicliterature.

Students also report using ProQuest a lot,again in tandem with other databases andother electronic sources of data. This isparticularly true for those in the nursingprofession, but increasingly some of the otherprofessionals allied to medicine are seeingbenefits of using this database in conjunctionwith other databases.”Joan Cochrane, Northumbria University, Jan 2008
