  • ProQuest Ebook Central (EBC) provides access to an extensive collection of scholarly e-books from a diverse range of disciplines and publishers worldwide. The platform enables you to consult millions of electronic books for research and teaching.
    Access is granted via the IP range of TU Clausthal. Once logged in, e-books can normally be read online and downloaded or printed chapter by chapter; however, complete downloads are generally unavailable due to publisher licensing constraints. While this may not always meet our preferred standards of convenience, it reflects the current legal limitations imposed by publishers, who often allow only limited acquisition and user rights to libraries.
    Nonetheless, it remains our priority to provide you with the latest, highest-quality academic literature. In many cases, platforms such as Ebook Central are the only practical means of offering individual digital titles. Should you have any questions about using the service or require assistance with specific e-book titles, please do not hesitate to contact us for tailored support.
