New institutional ebook pricing 2014
On May 1st 2014, we radically changed the pricing model for Cambridge ebooks available to institutions.
The changes have created a simpler pricing structure, making it easier for institutional customers to buy Cambridge ebooks.
Under the new model, nearly all 24,000 available titles are divided into four categories, with just one set price per category. The categories are Books for Research, Coursebooks, Cambridge Library Collection and Textbooks.
New pricing per title
Cambridge Library Collection: £50GBP, $80USD, €60Euro, $85AUD
Books for Research: £80GBP, $125USD, €95Euro, $135AUD
Coursebooks: £125GBP, $195USD, €150Euro, $210AUD
Textbooks: £300GBP, $500USD, €360Euro, $550AUD
No FTE multipliers
FTE bands and multipliers will no longer apply, so creating a simple underlying price structure for all titles.
No limited concurrency titles
All titles available direct from Cambridge from 1st May 2014 will have unlimited concurrency access.
We hope our customers will agree that the new pricing structure is easy to understand and will enable rapid price calculation and collection building.
We also anticipate that the new pricing structure will assist us in integrating seamlessly with library purchasing systems and also better support EBA models and advanced ordering, for which we are developing automated systems.

Hi – is there an easy/quick way of checking what titles are included in each of these categories?
Hi Susan,
Thanks for your question. There will be a list published on Cambridge Books Online next week which will provide this information. In the meantime, if we can help you with pricing information directly, please contact us at library.sales@cambridge.org

What is the difference between the Cambridge Library Collection and Books for Research?
Hi Jonas,
Books for Research are recent and new Cambridge titles.
The Cambridge Library Collection (1740-1940) is an imprint of out-of-copyright scholarly books from multiple publishers, which have been scanned and digitised with a very high level of quality control. They are available both as printed books or, for institutional access, as ebooks via Cambridge Books Online (CBO).
I hope this answers your question.
You can gain further information by emailing online@cambridge.org in the Americas or library.sales@cambridge.org in the rest of the world.
Best regards
Tristan
