Bayerische Staatsbibliothek (BSB) have negotiated the following national consortium offers which are available to you as a member of BSB. If you have any questions about these offers, or would like to discuss purchasing for your institution, please contact Burcu Sevindik-Kit, at burcu.sevindik-kit@cambridge.org.
Evidence-Based Acquisition (EBA)
Did you know that on average, members of BSB will pay only 6% of the total eBook usage value during their EBA*? Bayerische Staatsbibliothek offers an EBA model for all institutions from 1 October 2023 for one or three years, at a special consortium price. The model offers access to Cambridge University Press’ Frontlist and Backlist eBook content on Cambridge Core, comprising of over 50,000 titles (full package), and is available as a full, HSS or STM package.
To celebrate publishing our 50,000 digital book this year, we are offering 50 additional ebooks for free to Full EBA customers if you renew before 31 July, 2024.
The full BSB EBA offer can be viewed here, including further details about Cambridge Companions (CCO) & Cambridge Histories (CHO) EBAs. The title list can be viewed here.
