New Cambridge HE website to grow thanks to additional digital textbooks
1 June 2021
Last update: 01/06/21 13:15
With the launch of the Higher Education from Cambridge University Press (HE) website in August 2020, we now have a dedicated home for all of Cambridge’s digital textbook content. Since then, the site has seen over 2,000,000 uses, and there are over 640 textbooks available.
In order to provide more consistency across our content offerings and platform, an additional 300 titles (formed of textbooks previously hosted on Cambridge Core, and other textbooks that have up till now been withdrawn from sale) will be migrating to the HE site, with all work due to be completed by August 2021. In addition to this, more than 180 ebooks will be made newly available on Cambridge Core. This title list includes information about all of the planned changes.
This addition of 300 new titles to the HE website will lead to a 20% boost in the amount of content on the site, and includes many titles in high demand by students, lecturers and libraries that had previously been unavailable to access. And those titles newly available on Cambridge Core will be added to existing Evidence Based Acquisition (EBA) collections, as applicable.
With all of these changes, the HE website will be the single home of all digital textbook content from Cambridge University Press. Your regular contact will be able to take you through the details, and we will ensure that no library has any loss of access.
For librarians, no action is necessary – redirects will be in place for all changes, ensuring a smooth transition for your patrons. If you have any questions about the HE site, or what’s included in your EBA, please contact your usual library sales representative or contact us here.

More information about the HE website
From its inception, the HE site has been a cornerstone for our desire to help instructors to teach and students to learn better. The site has grown since it launched nearly a year ago, both in content and in functionality, and we will continue its development in pursuit of this goal.
A reminder of HE site functionality on offer: bookmarking, annotating, copy/paste (15% by word count), printing (15% by page count), and offline reading via the Cambridge Spiral app. The best pricing is via leased access to collections: full, HSS, STM, 17 subjects – although title-by-title and bespoke collections are also available.
