Cambridge University Online Library Is Now Free access to Academic textbooks on Cambridge Core
Due to performance issues caused by unprecedented demand and reported misuse, we have had to temporarily suspend the free access to textbooks. We apologise for the inconvenience caused and are working to address these concerns to reinstate free access as soon as possible.
Cambridge University Press is making higher education textbooks in HTML format free to access online during the coronavirus outbreak.
Over 700 textbooks, published and currently available, on Cambridge Core are available regardless of whether textbooks were previously purchased.
We recommend a Laptop/Desktop computer with Google Chrome for the best viewing experience. Textbook content is read only and cannot be downloaded.
Free access is available until the end of May 2020.
You can view the textbooks available here.
Free access to book chapters and journal articles
The Press has made a collection of more than 80 relevant book chapters and journal articles freely available on Cambridge Core. The Press has also joined the Wellcome Trust and more than 30 leading publishers in committing to making all of our COVID-19 and coronavirus-related publications, and the available data supporting them, immediately accessible in PubMed Central (PMC) and other public repositories.
Articles are drawn from journals including Epidemiology & Infection, Prehospital and Disaster Medicine, Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, and from Animal Health Research Reviews, among others. Future articles will be added to the collection once they have been published.

Update on conference attendance
Regrettably, the Academic division of Cambridge University Press has decided to cancel all attendance at conferences and events until the end of May. We feel that this is the right decision to minimise any risks to our team and to the wider community. We will keep the situation under review. We have not taken this decision lightly as we know how important academic conferences are to the community and our publishing partners.
In the meantime, we are extending the online discount to 30 percent to match the discount we would have offered to delegates in attendance at the conference. Our teams are also working with conference organisers where possible to offer other forms of support to these communities.
Simply visit our Conferences page, find the relevant meeting, and add the desired title to your cart. The discount will automatically be applied.
