Information for Librarians
We recognise that, as a librarian, you are key to the purchasing and management of many of the resources we publish. We’ve tried to make life easier for you by bringing together the information you might find useful here, as we know that you never have enough time!
We publish six social science journals: The Journal of Poverty and Social Justice, Policy & Politics, Evidence & Policy, Voluntary Sector Review, Families, Relationships and Societies and Critical and Radical Social Work. Find out how you can save money on your subscriptions with our journals collections. You can also view a pricelist for individual journal subscriptions and the journal collections here. By going to Policy Press journals online you can also find out about setting up online access. You can also read our online site licence (PDF, 16 kb) and our self-archiving and open access policy.
We are rapidly expanding the number of titles we publish as eBooks and the channels you can buy them through – see the main eBooks section for further details.
You can also browse all our books and journals using the links above.
Don’t forget our latest flyers and catalogues are available to download too. To keep up to date with all our latest books and journals information, why not join our mailing list?
We would welcome your feedback or comments on any aspect of our work, including ideas for any other information you’d like to see here – please email tpp-info@bristol.ac.uk.
