About Taylor & Francis eBooks

Taylor & Francis Logo

Taylor & Francis publishes books in all fields with a focus on humanities and social sciences.  Titles from Taylor & Francis include Routledge Companions as well as academic monographs. 

The Libraries acquire Taylor & Francis titles in two ways:

  • through individual purchase. These titles will usually have the designation "MAIN Purchased Title" in OneSearch. These are part of the collection "Taylor & Francis eBooks Complete." 
  • through a "Try before you buy" EBA program for all 2023 and 2024 titles.  Look for the OneSearch collection "Taylor and Francis EBA."
