We are pleased to announce that Cambridge University Libraries have signed up to support Opening the Future from Liverpool University Press. We have pledged support for two years (2026-2027). This covers both Open Access (OA) Supporter Membership and subscription access to the Modern Languages Package.
The Modern Languages Package includes “two Hispanic Studies backlist series. In return Liverpool University Press will use the subscription fees to produce new Open Access monographs. The package contains 50 titles from two series: Contemporary Hispanic and Lusophone Cultures and Liverpool Latin American Studies.” The title records are searchable in iDiscover and they are available for unlimited concurrent access and are DRM-free. The publisher also provides a downloadable title list (this is due to be updated in early 2026).
The three titles most recently published as OA are
- Democrazy in Spain: Cinema and New Forms of Social Life (1968-2008)
- Jurisdictional Battlefields
- Feeling Strangely in Mid-Century Spanish and Latin American Women’s Fiction
Additionally, there is one forthcoming book in the Contemporary Hispanic and Lusophone Cultures series. Anticolonialism, race and violence in Basque radical nationalism (1892-1936) is due to be OA on publication in collaboration with COPIM. Further title details are available from this OA Progress page.
Cambridge University Libraries are also OA supporter members of Opening The Future from the Central European University Press.
If you have any questions about Opening the Future or any OA books scheme, please do get in touch with the ebooks team at ebooks@lib.cam.ac.uk.
