Casalini Libri and Erasmus Boekhandel are pleased to announce a series of agreements with some of Europe's most authoritative and respected academic publishers, for an ever more comprehensive coverage of scholarly publishing from across Europe.

The result of a co-ordinated effort and continued investment in the Torrossa Digital Library, the new partnerships confirm the further evolution of the platform, which now offers access to almost 400,000 monographs and over 1000 scholarly e-journals from more than 450 European publishers.

The new entries to the Torrossa Digital Library bring to the catalogue a wealth of scholarly material published in Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Spain and beyond.

From the University Presses of Leuven and Bielefeld to the well-known academic publishers De Gruyter, Peeters Publishers, and John Benjamins, now available in Torrossa are a range of interdisciplinary publications with a strong focus on the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as scholarly works in many, diverse subject areas. They are joined by specialist publishers Oxbow books, Birkhäuser and Mohr Siebeck, as well as publisher of professional resources, Wolters Kluwer, to further expand the Torrossa catalogue.

“Erasmus is delighted to help bring new publishers to the Torrossa Digital Library,” stated Dirk Raes, Managing Director of Erasmus Boekhandel. “Over the last twelve months Torrossa has seen an increase not only in the number, breadth and diversity of the titles in its catalogue, but also in the quantity of content available in English, French, Dutch and German language. This further reinforces its position as one of the principal platforms for European digital research content, while enabling us to offer additional value to libraries and research institutions.”

Among the most recent publishers to have signed agreements, Torrossa welcomes long-established names Duncker and Humblot, Boom/Eleven and Reimer Verlag, together with the respected publisher of study resources, Éditions Ellipses, and the dynamic Grupo Editorial Sargantana. Titles from these publishers will be made available through Torrossa in the coming months.

In October 2022 major UK distributor Turpin went into administration. This affected many publishers, among which Brill, Berghahn, Emerald and Liverpool University Press to name a few (...complete list). Some of the publishers distributed by Turpin moved their distribution to Turpin’s sister company Orca/Marston. Others have taken the distribution into their own hands or partnered with other distributors.

Complete list of former Turpin publishers:
• Berghahn Books Ltd
• Brill
• International Labour Organization
• Liverpool University Press
• The O.E.C.D. (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)
• The Royal Society
• White Horse Press
• Callan Method Organisation
• The Commonwealth Secretariat
• Dunedin Academic Press
• Emerald Group Publishing
• Fiscal Publications
• 5M Publishing
• ILM Publications
• IWA Publishing
• John Harper Publishing Ltd
• SEN Press
• Spiramus Publishing
• World Trade Organization
• Zophorus Books

Setting up these new arrangements has taken considerable time and has put huge pressure on the operations of the new distributors, causing delays of at least 4-6 weeks with distributors like Orca/Marston. Publishers are also still struggling to get the stock released that is still held at Turpin due to legal and administrative restrictions. As a result, only now, nearly 5 months later, we and all other vendors are receiving the first few print-on-demand books from Brill publishers. Their offset-printed books will not be available until Summer.

We are in close contact with all affected publishers regarding the status of your orders and will keep you updated. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by these delays and thank you for your understanding in this matter.

For any questions you might have, please contact us at erasmus@erasmusbooks.nl.

We would like to introduce to you the changes and improvements we have made:

Over 58 million publications

Our new database holds over 58 million publications from all corners of the world. That is more than 52 million on our Erasmus Amsterdam website ( https://www.erasmusbooks.nl) and more than 6 million on our Erasmus Paris website (https://www.erasmus.fr).

Until now our websites featured a comprehensive database for English, French, German, Dutch, Spanish and Italian language publications, but we now include recent Danish, Swedish and Norwegian publications as well.

The bibliographic quality of publications has also improved. When available, we now show more descriptive data, classifications (such as BIC, Dewey and Thema) and summaries (descriptions, table of contents and bibliographical notes).

Up-to-date technologies have dramatically improved speed throughout our website and will deliver you better search results, faster.

Quicksearch suggestions

Our Quicksearch input will now show suggestions as you type, making it easier to find what you are looking for. These suggestions can be filtered by Title, Author, Publisher, Keywords, Torrossa (our e-book platform) and NTS (Erasmus' curated selection). All from the Quicksearch input itself, available anywhere on the website.

Aftersearch filters

Our Aftersearch filters have expanded to now include the possibility to filter by:

• Availability (Available, Forthcoming, Out of print, etc...),
• Product type (Hardback, Paperback, Digital, etc...),
• Years of publication,
• Publisher,
• Series,
• Contributors,
• Countries of publication,
• Classification (List of available schemes)

All filters dynamically recalculate their totals, as you apply them. Allowing for complicated deep dives such as 'Forthcoming hardbacks from India with thema Architecture' or 'Available paperbacks from Spain by Pablo Picasso'.

Sorting by relevance

By default your search results will now be sorted by 'Relevance'. This relevance is based on our curated New Title Service selection, year of publication and on how many times your keywords occur in the bibliographical record and in which places.

It is of course always possible to change the sorting to alphabetically by title, author/editor, publisher or by ISBN or Publication date, ascending or descending:

We hope the new database will give you a better experience using our websites. If you have any comments or suggestions, feel free to contact us at erasmus@erasmusbooks.nl
