ProQuest K-12 Learning Solutions
Description
In this digital age, it's easy to forget that not so long ago, the vast majority of books and publications simply weren't available to most scholars and researchers, let alone the general public. Major research collections were held by only a handful of libraries worldwide, so accessing the most important scholarly works of the day could be a lengthy and cost-prohibitive pursuit.
In the early 1930s, a young man from Ann Arbor named Eugene Power began applying himself to these problems of access. His goal was two-fold: "To preserve information... and to release readers from the limitations of the printing press."
Today ProQuest continues to follow his mission. As a result of agreements with more than 9,000 publishers worldwide, ProQuest Information and Learning provides access to information from periodicals, newspapers, multimedia and image collections, out-of-print books, dissertations, and scholarly collections in various formats. Its archive includes more than 5.5 billion pages of information, spanning 500 years of scholarship, in formats that range from print to microform to digital.
