ProQuest PBS and Central Student collections are available only to local education agencies. ProQuest does not use all-California IP authentication, so districts and libraries should set up authentication. School districts may want to work with ProQuest customer service to set up the Homework Central interface to connect users to all available ProQuest resources from one access point.
