Subject: Homework Help During Hurrican Sandy Rebuild
All: ProQuest encourages you to use this temporary link on your remote menus, no authentication necessary, for your students or adults who may be struggling with closed schools, closed library branches, or loss of internet access at home in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. There is no absolutely no obligation attached to the access.
Staying informed, getting homework help, and finding relevant information quickly. We know that access to information is critical in times like these, and we’re here to help. In an effort to provide information in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, from now through December 2012, ProQuest will provide access to its eLibrary® product—including access to the full text of The New York Times—to public library users and students in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
For your information needs, eLibrary includes 8 different types of media comprising more than 2,500 full text magazines, newspapers, e-books, and transcripts, along with thousands of images, maps, websites and videos. In addition, users can search more than 7,000 editor-curated Research Topics.
To get started, share this link with your library users and students: ProQuest eLibrary.
