ProQuest Launches Displaced Researchers Program
<http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/proquest-launches-displaced-researchers-program-300405287.html>
ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- *ProQuest* has launched a
program to provide no-cost access to its databases for students and
researchers who have been separated from their universities and libraries
because of travel bans or other immigration changes. The company has an
email hotline ContinueMyResearch(a)proquest.com where these *displaced
researchers can arrange for access to the materials they need to continue
their work.*
"ProQuest is an open and inclusive organization that takes its role in
supporting research and learning very seriously," said *Kurt Sanford,
ProQuest CEO*. "We're doing whatever we can to mitigate the interruptions
facing our community of students and scholars around the world."
The program resolves authentication problems displaced researchers may face
when trying to access to their institution's holdings remotely. *Individuals
will be provided with personal credentials, as well as direct access to
ProQuest support teams for help. There is no limit to the number of
databases that can be requested. Free RefWorks accounts are also available
to help with long-distance collaboration *and to save, manage and organize
their work.
To request access, students, faculty and other researchers can email
ProQuest at ContinueMyResearch(a)proquest.com with the name of the university
or library they have been separated from, along with the name of their
research supervisor or faculty advisor. ProQuest representatives will work
directly with impacted individuals or their advisors to set up online, no
cost access to all databases needed to continue their studies or research.
