University of Cambridge expands their Opening the Future membership

Posted by Tom Grady on June 6, 2023 at 0958

CEU Press are pleased to announce that Cambridge University Libraries are now subscribing to two more packages on their Opening the Future programme, taking their membership to three packages in total. 

Cambridge have been OtF members for over a year already and benefiting from access to the Editors' Choice package. They recently added to their membership and augmented their local collection by also subscribing to two more packages of books in Political Science and History. This means that their staff and students now have unlimited and concurrent access to 150 different eBooks on subjects ranging from mediaeval Europe, human rights, Jewish studies, European economics, public health, and the fall of communism.

As with all Opening the Future members, Cambridge have increased their online book collection with titles relevant to the university’s research and teaching needs - and at the same time their membership fees are funding new frontlist titles in OA format. Through the generous support of member libraries like Cambridge all over the world, CEU Press has already been able to publish 12 new OA books (with a 13th on its way) which are freely available for download from Project MUSE, OAPEN, JSTOR and other open platforms. You can read about - and find links to - all the OA books on our progress page: ceup.openingthefuture.net/forthcoming
