Taylor & Francis and Cambridge Scholars Publishing have announced a new eBook distribution partnership that will significantly expand the global availability of Cambridge Scholars titles. Libraries and organizations worldwide can now make books from Cambridge Scholars’ extensive portfolio available to their users through the Taylor & Francis eBooks platform .
Founded in 2001 by a group of academics, Cambridge Scholars Publishing is an independent academic publisher specializing in monographs, edited collections, and thesis-based works across a broad range of disciplines.
Through this new partnership, over 11,000 Cambridge Scholars eBooks are now available on taylorfrancis.com, joining the trusted Taylor & Francis catalog, which includes titles published under the Routledge and CRC Press imprints. The Taylor & Francis eBooks platform, a single destination for research across all fields, offers over 222,000 titles containing more than three million chapters.
All Cambridge Scholars eBooks on the site are Digital Rights Management (DRM)-free, allowing users to download content to read on any device, whether in the library, at home or on the move.
