The ebooks@cambridge team is very pleased to be able to announce the acquisition of two new Brill online reference works: the Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World, and the Encyclopedia of Buddhism Online. In both cases, the University of Cambridge now has perpetual access, and the purchase includes the cost of all future updates.

The Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World, purchased with funding from FAMES and ebooks@cambridge, is an expanded online version of the five-volume print encyclopedia, first published in 2010. It is updated with new material twice a year, and currently includes over 2,200 entries (and over 1.5 million words).

The Encyclopedia of Buddhism Online is another collaborative purchase, funded jointly by FAMES, Divinity, and the UL's Collections and Academic Liaison. It will eventually comprise six thematically arranged volumes, of which the first two (Literature and Languages and Lives) are currently available; subsequent volumes will be added online once they have been published in print.

We're very grateful to FAMES and Divinity for their contributions towards these two new resources. Please get in touch with the ebooks team if you have any questions about either work.
