Free access to Cambridge University Press eTextbooks through the Libraries!

The Libraries is planning another way of making textbooks affordable for NC State students. 

For at least summer 2023 through spring 2024, the Libraries will provide electronic access to *select* Cambridge University Press (CUP) textbooks and all supplementary materials at no out-of-pocket cost to students or instructors.

Trial access for preview purposes for NC State students and faculty is active now. Instructors may explore CUP's offerings and determine whether to adopt required or supplementary textbooks for courses for summer 2023, fall 2023, or spring 2024 courses.

Please provide feedback, including regarding specific titles of at least potential interest, by April 15 so that the Libraries may make initial decisions accordingly. Send your tentative title selections and/or feedback to Darby Orcutt, dcorcutt@ncsu.edu.

Full preview trial access is also open to students during the spring 2023 semester. If you are using a CUP textbook this semester, your students will have e-access for the remainder of the semester, and the Libraries would appreciate hearing feedback as well.

Complete links and login information are below.
