University of Cambridge students can now access key textbooks online, thanks to a new project called ebooks@cambridge.
The online library contains more than 100 of the most frequently used textbooks covering all degree subjects, as well as more than 3,000 titles that are now out of copyright. Students can access the books by clicking on links in the University’s Newton online library catalogue.
The project has been funded for a year by a generous donation from Professor Robert Z Aliber – an alumnus of St John’s College, Cambridge and Professor of International Economics and Finance Emeritus at the University of Chicago’s Graduate School of Business – and contributions from six Cambridge Colleges.
It was developed by the libraries at those six Colleges - Clare, Lucy Cavendish, Queens’, Selwyn, St John’s and Trinity Colleges - in association with NetLibrary, an organisation that supplies e-books to other research universities worldwide.
