Have you tried Cambridge Companions?

Hi everyone, a quick note: have you taken a look at Cambridge Companions? We had a trial with Oxford’s Very Short Introductions collection last year, but unfortunately with the budget reduction, we can’t start up a subscription. However, because of the positive feedback we received during the VSI trial, I want to recommend Cambridge Companions as an alternative.

The Companions (720 titles at present) are “lively, accessible introductions” to a multitude of topics in Literature, Classics, Music, Philosophy, Religion and Culture. Here are just a few recent examples:

Please enjoy and recommend! With questions, let us know at csu@ualberta.ca. Thanks!
