In April 2021, Bloomsbury Digital Resource launched Bloomsbury Philosophy Library, a growing digital hub that will provides access to primary texts in translation, secondary literature, exclusive articles, and encyclopedia entries. Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers has been migrated onto Bloomsbury Philosophy Library.
What will happen to my access of Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers?
If your institution has purchased or subscribed to Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers, you will still have access to that content. The previous URL for Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers is now redirecting to the new URL, which is bloomsburyphilosophylibrary.com.
Please note that all pages on Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers also re-direct to the new platform.
What will be different on Bloomsbury Philosophy Library as opposed to the old Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers website?
The new platform is titled Bloomsbury Philosophy Library and is branded as such.
Bloomsbury Philosophy Library hosts three collections, as stated above. This means content outside of Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers will also be on the platform. While content may appear on the site, users will only have access to the collection that they have subscribed to or purchased.
For example, if your institution only subscribes to Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers, you will only have access to content from Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers. Content from other collections will be locked.
Are institutions able to renew their subscription to Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers?
Yes, Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers will still be available to purchase via subscription or perpetual access basis.
What will happen to my personal account?
You are still able to log into your personal account on the new platform.
Favorited content saved to personal accounts have not been retained with Bloomsbury Encyclopedia of Philosophers moving over to Bloomsbury Philosophy Library. Prior to migration, users will have needed to instead save those links to their browser favorites, so they are not lost.
Favorited search items have also not been retained with the new. Search results will be different on the new platform, as users will be able to see search results from multiple collections if they would like.
