Welcome to September’s Library Newsletter featuring upcoming events, noteworthy new products and launches within the library community.

New Journals Homepage design

Over the last year, the Cambridge Core team have been working on new designs for our journal content landing pages.

Following extensive research, testing and iterations, we are now ready to give a preview of what the new designs will look like which we are planning to make live early next month.

You can view the full blog post here.

Cambridge Ebooks

Did you know you are able to purchase ebooks for your library directly from Cambridge Core?
The self-service facility is available in participating regions and allows you to make ebook purchases for your institution from the librarian admin area on Cambridge Core. 

This needs to be enabled before you can be up and running so please let us know if this is of interest. We have a brief video demonstrating this service here . For those of you who already use this service we are working to make further improvements, including being able to add ebooks from the Content Requests page to your cart, and are now offering a 5% discount* on purchases made through the self-service facility.

Please contact your usual Cambridge University Press representative to be set up with self-service, check whether you are eligible for the 5% discount, or if you have any additional queries about this service.

*only applicable in certain regions, please contact your Cambridge University Press representative to check if you qualify, other existing agreements may already be in place.
