There are three ways to get a citation from the database:
The Cite Book Feature:
From the Detail page, before even opening the book
OR from the online reader (for the PDF reader only)
This opens a "Citation" window
From here you can:
Choose the citation format (for this citation only) using the "FORMAT" drop-down menu.
Copy the citation, to paste elsewhere
Export the citation in one of the two listed formats. If you use a different citation management tool than those listed in the Citation window, you can find information at the ProQuest support page.
When you copy from a book, a citation is automatically included with the copied text.
When you print or page-range-download, a citation is automatically included at the bottom of every page
To change your default citation format:
Sign in to your personal Ebook Central account (if you aren't already)
Go to Settings and then Profile (top right of Ebook Central screen)
Select your desired default citation format
Click Save Changes
