Bloomsbury Medieval Studies

Bloomsbury Medieval Studies (BMS) is a good interdisciplinary resource that provides access to all of Bloomsbury Publishing’s offerings on Medieval Studies in one place. One strength of this product is the global view of the medieval period it takes, as opposed to the Eurocentric view of most of the other products currently on the market. The pricing is based on tiers and quite reasonable. The license terms and conditions are mainly in line with industry standards, although there are a few you will want to look at for possible negotiation. The user interface is clear and easy to use. This is a new product that currently has an update schedule of every six months. This makes the perpetual access model of dubious value, but an annual subscription could easily be worth the cost.
