ProQuest has introduced the new Research Companion. Pricing is available on the consortium website. ProQuest Research Companion is a new, intuitive, and self-guided product that supports information literacy, writing, and research skills instruction occurring in today's libraries, classrooms, and online learning environments. It provides a new foundation and companion to "one-shot" sessions, allowing librarians and educators to focus on teaching the more complex research and writing principles. Developed by writing instructors and librarians, ProQuest Research Companion is comprised of nine Learning Modules and seven interactive Tools—all designed to automate the basic parts of the research process. The responsive design means it's adaptable to all devices—laptops, tablets, and smart phones. See the description at http://www.proquest.com/products-services/rescomp.html

If you are unable to place your orders with the consortium by the due date of May 9, 2014, we will try to place your orders late. Orders will be assessed a late fee of an additional 5%, or whatever additional fee the vendor assigns to late orders.
