The UL has recently purchased a number of 2024 ebook collections from Brill, and our access has now been switched on. We first started doing this back in 2014, replacing our many print standing orders by buying most of Brill’s annual subject collections. Over the course of the next year we will gradually gain permanent, DRM-free access to nearly 1,000 titles as they are released, in the following collections:
- Asian Studies
- Biblical Studies, Ancient Near East and Early Christianity
- Classical Studies
- Early Modern History and Modern History
- International Law (funded by the Squire Law Library)
- Language and Linguistics
- Late Antiquity and Medieval Studies
- Literature and Cultural Studies
- Middle East and Islamic Studies
- Religious Studies, Theology and Philosophy
- Social Sciences
- Schöningh and Fink: Early Modern and Modern History (funded by the UL German budget)
- Schöningh and Fink: Literature and Culture Studies (funded by the UL German budget)
- Schöningh and Fink: Religious Studies, Theology and Philosophy (funded by the UL German budget)
Records will be added to iDiscover every month, so there will sometimes be a short delay between a book being published and it displaying in the catalogue–it’s always worth checking the Brill platform if there’s a brand new title which you can’t find in iDiscover. If you have any questions, please do get in touch with the English Collections team (engcc@lib.cam.ac.uk).
