Clarivate/ProQuest has launched a new app for full book downloads from the Ebook Central (EBC) platform, which will replace Adobe Digital Editions for Ebook Central titles only. Patrons will be able to use the new app as of August 14, 2025.
The first time patrons try to download a full ebook from Ebook Central, they will be prompted to install the EBC app. Instructions on how to install the app can be found at this link: https://proquest.libguides.com/ld.php?content_id=79286480. What users need to know:
- Install the App: Users can install the app on up to six personal or institutional devices.
- Start Reading: After installation, users can enter their 7-digit login code and start reading offline right away.
- Access Existing Loans: Any ebooks already on loan in Adobe Digital Editions will sync automatically – no re-download needed.
Further resources about the app can be found at this page. You can also sign up for a short webinar that covers the user experience at this link: https://proquest.ewebinar.com/webinar/discover-the-ebook-central-reader-app-20325.
Important note: the online reading experience will not change for patrons. This change only affects full ebook downloads.
