A brand new look for Cambridge’s
Companions, Histories and Shakespeare
Survey Online sites
Cambridge University Press is pleased to reveal fully refreshed and enhanced designs for
its Companions Online, Histories Online and Shakespeare Survey Online products.
Alongside improvements to the look and feel of the site, Cambridge is also pleased to
announce a number of functionality enhancements. Comprehensive feature sets,
including market leading personalisation and reference linking, ensure maximum benefit
from research time for students and academics alike.
Beta versions of the sites are now available for current customers to begin using, with the
existing sites remaining accessible until the end of January 2013, when they will be
switched off. URLs for the existing sites will not be redirected until the beta stage is
complete on 31 January 2013.
Cambridge Companions Online offers lively and accessible introductions to major writers,
artists, musicians, philosophers, topics and periods, whilst Cambridge Histories Online
allows instant access to the renowned texts of the Cambridge Histories series, with the
most up to date and authoritative scholarly content. Since 1948, Shakespeare Survey has
published the best international scholarship in English and many of its essays have
become classics of Shakespearean criticism.
Libraries can purchase access to the sites through a number of flexible purchasing plans
allowing unlimited simultaneous usage. COUNTER compliant usage statistics and
downloadable MARC records are provided.
