You will be searching in the ProQuest database. When you click the Go to ProQuest button below, a new window will open up and connect you to ProQuest. When the new window opens, click back in this window and click on the forward arrow to learn how to search in ProQuest.

Helpful Hint: Resize your windows so you can easily move back and forth between them.

Note: If you are not on campus, you will need to enter your ACE account to access the ProQuest database.

Students:
All students who are enrolled in at least one class, except for Community Services classes at present, are automatically assigned an ACE account.
For example, a student named John M. Smith with student ID number 881234567 who was born on January 8, 1990, would have the following account information:

Username
Your username is the same as the Student ID number which starts with 88 and is a 9-digit number, for example, 881234567.

Password
The password starts with “Elac,” and is followed by the month and date of the student's birthday using this format: ElacMMDD. Note that the “E” must be capitalized. In the example above, the student has a birthday of January 8 and so the password would be Elac0108.

Faculty:
All discipline (teaching) faculty get ACE (academic network) accounts; counselors and librarians, e.g., have to request accounts if they are not currently teaching a class.

Username
The username (ACE Account) is generated from a faculty’s name using the [first six letters of the last name] + [first initial] + [middle initial]. For instance, Mark R. Robinson would have this username [robinsmr].

Password
The default password is “Elac,” followed by the last six digits of the faculty’s employee number. For example, if Mark Robinson’s employee number is 10712345, his password would be Elac712345. Note: passwords are case sensitive. Make sure the “E” in Elac is capitalized.
Note: Some employee numbers are 6-digits and others are 8-digits. In the case of 8-digits, use the last six.
