We are thrilled to announce that the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) has joined the Opening the Future programme at CEU Press.

The library at LSE has enhanced their local collection by subscribing to the Political Science package of - giving them unlimited, DRM-free, perpetual access to 50 books offering a critical analysis of political systems and influences across Central and Eastern Europe. 

As with all Opening the Future members, LSE has enhanced their eBook collection with titles relevant to the university’s research and teaching needs - and at the same time their membership fees are funding new frontlist titles in OA format so that everyone, including their users, will benefit from the global open collection it contributes to. We are very grateful for their support. 

Through the generous support of member libraries like them all over the world, CEU Press has already been able to publish many new OA books (with more funded and planned) which are freely available for download from Project MUSE, OAPEN, JSTOR and other open platforms. You can read about, and access, all the OA books on the progress page: ceup.openingthefuture.net/forthcoming.
