For the past couple of years, the UL’s Collections and Academic Liaison English-language budget has purchased Stanford University Press’s annual frontlist collection, hosted on the De Gruyter platform. We have now purchased their 2024 collection, meaning that we will have permanent, DRM-free (i.e. unlimited) access to titles published by Stanford during the course of the next year; we will also continue to have access to their 2000-2013 backlist (a collection of c. 1500 titles). Records for new titles will be added as they are published, with titles for the backlist collection already available in iDiscover.
Stanford describes itself thus: “Founded in 1892, Stanford University Press publishes 130 books a year across the humanities, social sciences, law, and business. Our books inform scholarly debate, generate global and cross-cultural discussion, and bring timely, peer-reviewed scholarship to the wider reading public … SUP is a publisher of ideas that matter, books that endure.” A selection of some of the recently published titles in the 2023 collection can be seen below (click here to skip to a list of iDiscover links). Please do get in touch with the English Collections team (engcc@lib.cam.ac.uk) if you have any questions.
