We have received feedback from our members that they would like to be able to share our eBook titles with colleagues across their organisation. In response, we are pleased to announce the launch of our new digital book subscription scheme.
Our scheme ensures cost-effective access to important resources in a digital format. The carefully selected list of eBook titles cover a range of key topics across adoption and fostering practice.
Designed with remote working teams in mind, our subscription scheme offers cost-effective access to a curated selection of eBook titles. These books cover a range of key topics in adoption and fostering practice, ensuring you have the best resources at your fingertips.
The key benefits of our digital book subscription scheme are to support wider readership of key CoramBAAF titles, as our members have requested, at a discounted price.
How does it work?
Select a title from the list below and we will provide a quote for a subscription based on the number of people who would like to access the title. If you would like to pick more than one title, please let us know in the comment section of the form.
Once the quote has been agreed upon and you have signed the license agreement, we will share the digital book with you to add to your own secure intranet/resource hub, or for you to access via our eBookstore, making it as easy as possible for you and your colleagues to access our titles.
The subscription will be billed on an annual basis. If you sign up before 31 March 2025 you will receive a quote for a pro rata rate that will expire in April 2025. From 1 April 2025, you will receive a revised quote for the membership year 2025-2026.
