Digitalback Books – virtual library platform for African titles
Following a successful trial earlier this year the Library has subscribed to Digitalback Books.
Digitalback Books is a virtual library platform enabling readers access to hundreds of titles from and about Africa and its diaspora.
” SOAS Library has a very impressive and absolutely enviable collection on Africa so being able to top up their current physical offering with titles from Digitalback Books is really exciting” says Digitalback Books founder Gersy Ifeanyi Ejimofo.
Notable collections include titles from the Africa Writers Series, Caribbean Modern Classics, Caine Prize for African Writing, Africa Now and Africa Arguments.
