Taylor & Francis – New HSS Ebooks

The University of California has recently purchased a new set of ebooks from Taylor & Francis: a one time purchase of 18 selected subject collections from the 2024 HSS (humanities and social sciences) ebook series. These ebooks will be available to 9 UC campuses (all campuses except UCSF are included; and LBL is included with UC Berkeley). These 2024 HSS ebooks were funded centrally at no cost to campuses, and the purchase was negotiated as part of the new Taylor & Francis Transformative Agreement. 

The 18 subject areas purchased for 2024 include:

Anthropology
Archaeology
Cognitive Psychology
Cultural Studies
Gender Studies
Human Geography
Media & Film Studies
Psychological Research Methods/Stats
Social Psychology
Statistics & Probability
Music
Comparative Politics
Classical Studies
Planning
US Politics
Building & Construction
Health & Society
Sociology

All of these ebooks are accessible at the Taylor & Francis platform: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/

Additionally, the STMnetbase/CRCnetbase package that the UCs have been purchasing annually has been committed to as part of a multiyear agreement covering the years 2024-2027. The order for the 2024 package has recently been finalized. 

All of these ebooks should now be accessible at the Taylor & Francis platform. CDL staff are working through the set up and processing for these new ebook packages in the catalog.
