Students and faculty will need to create an account inside the ebook platform to download the ebooks. This account needs to be created by the student. You can use your queens email and will have access to this account as long as you are affiliated with Queens.

Proquest ebook central requires patrons to create an account when off campus to view the ebook. This is also an account that students need to create with their own email and password. Here is a libguide for help with proquest ebook access.
