Collections update: Brill 2026 subject collections

The UL and the Squire Law Library have together recently purchased most of Brill’s 2026 subject collections. This is an annual purchase which started back in 2014 , when we decided to replace our many print standing orders for Brill series with the ebook collections. During 2026, we will gain perpetual and DRM-free access to roughly 1,000 titles as they are released, which are included in the following collections (click on the links to see the ebooks which have already been published): Asian Studies Biblical Studies, Ancient Near East and Early Christianity Classical Studies Early Modern History and Modern History International Law (funded by the Squire Law Library) Language and Linguistics Late Antiquity and Medieval Studies Literature and Cultural Studies Middle East and Islamic Studies Religious Studies, Theology and Philosophy Social Sciences Schöningh and Fink: Early Modern and Modern History (funded by the UL German budget) Schöningh and Fink: Literature and Culture Studies (funded by the UL German budget) Schöningh and Fink: Religious Studies, Theology and Philosophy (funded by the UL German budget) Access to titles currently available in these collections has been switched on, and records are being added to iDiscover. In general, records for titles in these collections will be added iDiscover every month, and there may sometimes be a short delay between a book being published and it being visible in the catalogue; it’s therefore always worth checking the Brill platform if there’s a brand new title which you can’t find in iDiscover. If you have any questions, please do get in touch with the English Collections team ( engcc@lib.cam.ac.uk ).
