Welcome to the June 2023 issue of our e-books for FE newsletter. It’s a slow news month before the well-earned summer holidays, so a brief update only before the ever-crucial usage tables:
e-book purchasing round 2023
The contracts for new titles are now in the process of being checked and signed, so we are hoping to confirm the new titles (and those falling out of subscription) by mid-June, as per previous years.
Thank you again for your recommendations concerning the Perpetual Titles list: they will all be taken into account.
