Bloomsbury Collections will be migrating to a new improved platform in late July.
As the library has access to e-books through some of these collections, including:
Early Modern History Archive 1971-2013
Film & Media Studies 2014
Family and Social Law
They have advised the following for people who’ve created personal accounts and bookmarked existing content:
“If you are an instructor, librarian, or student with an existing personal account, please note that you will need to set up a personal account on the new Bloomsbury Collections site after the migration at the end of July. This is a simple process that can be done quickly and easily.
To set up a new personal account, click on ‘Sign into your personal account’ in the upper right-hand corner. You will then be prompted to set up a new account or use an existing one. If you already have an account set up with one of Bloomsbury’s other digital products, you can use that log in. If not, you’ll be able to set up a new one at that time.
Bookmarks saved to personal accounts on the current Bloomsbury Collections site will not be retained, so prior to migration please save the links to your favorite pages within your own browser, so you do not lose them.”
The Bloomsbury Fashion Central resource has re-launched today on a brand new platform.
On and off campus access to the new platform remains unchanged, and links are available from the Find Databases page. All previously saved or bookmarked links to items will automatically redirect, and there is the option to create a new personal account and add them there.
The upgraded resource is described as follows:
Bloomsbury Fashion Central is a digital hub for interdisciplinary research in fashion and dress. It includes major reference works, articles, eBooks, video content, runway and backstage photos from fashion shows, and tens of thousands of images from museums around the world. There are three resources to explore:
The Berg Fashion Library contains over 100 eBooks, more than 13,000 colour images and other reference works.
This is complemented by the Fairchild Books Library, which includes another 150 eBooks on all aspects of fashion.
Finally, the Fashion Photography Archive covers forty years of contemporary fashion history and contains over 750,000 images.
