Dear List Members,

Cambridge University Press is changing a number of products in its online 
suite

Changes will be made to 
·       Cambridge Histories Online
·       Cambridge Companions Online
·       Shakespeare Survey Online

Why The Change?
         We are moving these individual product sites to a single 
platform. This move reflects a desire to enhance the user experience by 
making the look and feel of the sites more intuitive, promoting cross 
searchability between products and adding more personalisation features.

New Features

·       Dynamic search results:  at the book and chapter level
·       Shibboleth Compliance
·       Athens Compliance
·       Greater personalisation functionality-  users will be able to save 
searches, create groups, and add notes 
·       Cross searchability- between our other products including 
Cambridge Books Online and Cambridge Journals Online 
·       Tools to Share- Recommend this book to a librarian, bookmark, & 
share
·       RSS/email alerts- for content, MARC records, new features, & 
general news
·       Forthcoming titles list- found on the homepage

When?
Cambridge Histories Online, Cambridge Companions Online, & Shakespeare 
Survey Online will all be migrated to the new platform by the end November 
2012. The new sites will go live at this time.

Current Subscribers

What current subscribers need to know:
·       Logins & URLs- we will be migrating all account data for existing 
subscribers (including logins, IPs and URL redirects), thus no action is 
required from you.

·       Site Overlap- The existing sites will be available for two months 
following the launch of the new sites.

·       MARC Records- You will not need to reload MARC records into your 
library catalogue. We are setting up URL redirects for both standard 
Cambridge Companions Online URLS and DOIs. 

·       Guided Tours- Training for the new site will be available in 
October.
