There has been a lot of interest in our webinar “New ProQuest Platform Recent Enhancements” that was held on November 28. We recommend that you check out the recording to learn about the latest enhancements. You’ll see how we’re making research easier with new chat and email widgets, as well as added functionality to the thesaurus, document formatting, database list views, and RSS feeds and alerts.

We will also be highlighting these updates in the following live sessions. Note that recordings are available for each topic in case timings of live webinars are not convenient to you:
