Hints to Avoid Problems with ProQuest Ebooks
- If you have a specific term or topic you should put that in quotes in the search box. For example, "unmanned aerial vehicle" which is a specific term referring to drones. Not putting things in quotes will result in irrelevant results because the search engine will search for each word separately.
- If you are off campus and have not used ProQuest Ebooks, you will have to login to Eagle Online and then click on Ebooks to set up an account. Procedures are below.
- Watch the date range when you have a topic that has changed a lot in recent years. There are some older books in this collection that are fine when you are looking at the history of the topic, but are not good if the information presented is out of date.
