Cambridge Library Collection ebooks

We are pleased to announce that works from the Cambridge Library Collection digitised by Cambridge University Press from the holdings of Cambridge University Library are available to staff and students as ebooks on the Cambridge Books Online site. Several hundred titles have already been published online and the collection will continue to grow as new content is digitised.

The Cambridge Library Collection is a collaborative venture which provides access to out-of-copyright works on subjects ranging from anthropology to zoology, selected with advice from leading specialists, and digitised using state-of-the-art technology to produce a highly-legible text. The titles have been re-published in print as well as being made available as ebooks. For more information on the project see the Cambridge Library Collection web site at: http://ebooks.cambridge.org/clc/

To view the ebook collection go to Cambridge Books Online at: http://ebooks.cambridge.org/and select the Access To link in the top right-hand corner. A list of individual titles can be viewed. The collection is fully cross-searchable. The Cambridge Library Collection adds to subscribed ebooks on Mathematics already available to students and staff on Cambridge Books Online which you will also find listed.

Students and staff connecting off campus should select the Shibboleth Log-in option and enter their Raven passwords.
