Web's long march worth the wait

' web review

The brand-new scholarly website Cambridge Histories Online has been designed to reference and host the works from the Cambridge Histories series. Although the printed versions date back to 1902, the online content comes from the Histories published only from the 1960s onwards.

That content is broken down broadly into histories of the US and Britain, although there are also more general areas covering economics, politics, religion, music, literary studies and language. From there, users can explore by title, chapter or author, or conduct a more advanced search.

Touted as the e-publishing flagship of Cambridge University Press (CUP), Cambridge Histories Online represents a significant step forward for the institution's e-learning strategy.

With such a pedigree of scholastic material at the site's disposal, users will expect a decent delivery platform. The big question is whether CUP and developer Semantico have managed to master the technology trick.
