Cambridge Books Online (CBO) is the e-book platform for the world’s oldest university press. The Law Library has begun subscribing to selected e-books from CBO. Access is available campus wide and remotely with VPN. All the titles can be found in the Library Catalog. The Law Library recommends using the Library Catalog to identify titles available from CBO and then connect directly to the e-book from the catalog record.
Users may opt to connect directly to the Cambridge Books Online website which provides search and browse tools. Once a book is found, click on the title to open the contents or book description. Each chapter on CBO has a chapter landing page, which displays key information about a chapter and the book in which it appears, along with tabs for the Chapter Extract (if available), References (if available), and the book’s Table of Contents. From the chapter landing page, users can access an image view or a full-text PDF file of that chapter, if a campus library has purchased access. Try connecting to Case Law Professor Peter M. Gerhart’s book, Tort Law and Social Morality, to explore how finding titles on the CBO platform works.
