A New Way for IBSU Students to Explore & Research

Information is key to success, and having the right tools can make a big difference. ProQuest is one such tool, offering an invaluable resource with access to over 200,000 eBooks covering a wide range of academic subjects.

But what is ProQuest, and why is IBSU adding it to the library system?

Walk with us here…

What is ProQuest?

ProQuest is a huge online library with millions of research materials. You can find academic journals, books, theses, and newspapers all in one place. It’s available 24/7, so you can access it anytime. Unlike regular search engines, ProQuest provides trustworthy and scholarly sources, making research easier and more reliable.

Not only is it one of the most improved research tools, but it is also a highly versatile one used by students, researchers, and professionals worldwide. It helps with assignments, projects, and even career research. ProQuest can easily cater to any school topic or new area of interest and, for the most part, makes finding information simple and stress-free.

How Can ProQuest Benefit IBSU Students?

At IBS University, students often balance their studies with other responsibilities. ProQuest makes this easier by providing a huge collection of learning materials with just a few clicks.

Here’s how it helps:

  • Easy Access to Learning Materials: ProQuest gives students high-quality books, articles, and journals. It doesn’t matter if you’re studying business, IT, marketing, or any other subject, you will still chance upon trusted and up-to-date research materials.
  • Faster Research: Instead of searching all over the internet, ProQuest gathers everything in one place. This makes it quicker and easier to find useful information, saving time and effort.
  • Improving Research Skills: ProQuest helps students learn how to find, use, and organize information for essays, projects, and presentations. It also teaches how to cite sources correctly and decide if the materials are reliable.
  • Learning Beyond the Classroom: With ProQuest, students can explore topics more deeply, reason logically, and gain a wider understanding of the world—all at their own pace.

Why Integrating ProQuest with the KoHA Library System is a Game-Changer

Currently, IBSU’s Koha Library System is an essential tool for managing books, journals, and student borrowing records. Now, IBSU is to integrate  ProQuest into the KoHA system, which will revolutionize how patrons access and manage research materials.

Combining ProQuest with KoHA allows students to have seamless access to both physical and digital resources. Imagine being able to check out a book at the library and instantly access an article or journal from ProQuest on the same platform. This integration makes research simpler, more organized, and accessible from anywhere.

What Does This Mean for IBSU Students?

With this system in place, students at IBSUniversity can utilize their study time and materials. Instead of switching between different platforms, everything is now in one place. No matter where you are—at the library or at home—you can access the resources you need. With both physical and digital materials available, you have more options, making studying easier.

Conclusion

To sum up, ProQuest is an amazing tool that can help you with your studies in many ways. Adding ProQuest to IBSU’s Koha Library System makes it easier for you to find research materials and boost your learning. If you’re studying for a test, writing an essay, or just curious about something, ProQuest helps you find what you need quickly and easily.

At IBSU, we want to give you the best tools to succeed. The future of learning is here, and with ProQuest, you’ll have everything you need to grow, learn, and do well.
