2. Choose My Carroll

6. Choose "Library" (blue lettering) for the Library

New and Notable:

Cambridge activated significant changes to their interface in September 2016; but the login above will still interface with the Cambridge page for the specific Cambridge Histories Online (CHO) collection at https://www.cambridge.org/core/what-we-publish/collections/cambridge-histories and with our BHCTI Library Catalog page if the login procedure above is followed first.

TIPS:

From the CHO link https://www.cambridge.org/core/what-we-publish/collections/cambridge-histories you can open a list of titles for the collection by selecting the "Download list of titles" command (in html or MS Excel format). Carroll titles are those placed online in March 2008; some titles in the list will not be accessible in the current Carroll CHO collection.

Alternative Access to CHO from the Cambridge Login: follow this path:

• After Login, choose What We Publish, then choose Cambridge Histories from the list of collections

See our BHCTI Library Catalog page of this wiki to search for links to individual titles in CHO.
