iFactory in Boston USA are currently building our new platform, launching mid 2010
Bloomsbury Academic will combine breadth and depth of content with ease of searching and access, to provide a product that aims to connect readers with that content as smoothly and as efficiently as possible. A website ahead of its time, Bloomsbury Academic will select the best of the web's features and functionality to make users' journeys to, around and from its content efficient and effective.

Under Creative Commons licences, leading-edge research-based titles will be freely available to read, and the site will provide a range of options for users to get the best out of the books that they find, whether in print or electronic form.

Taxonomic classification will assist users to navigate to and from what they want to read, with tools available to allow readers to cite, email, print and share the titles they find. Bloomsbury Academic will be plugged into the world beyond the site itself, with connections to blogs, podcasts and webcasts to accompany and enhance the world-class content inside. Within the site, additional readers' resources will augment the core texts, with role-based navigation helping core groups make the best of Bloomsbury Academic.
