Through Nov. 30, 2025, MCLS members can save an additional 10% on all collections included on the Screen Studies, Bloomsbury Music & Sound, and Bloomsbury Food Library platforms. Multi-module discounts still apply, and the extra 10% is in addition to the multi-module discounts (ex: if you purchase 5+ collections by Nov. 30, you will receive 30% off, rather than 20% off).

In addition, Bloomsbury is hosting a live demonstration to showcase the unique functionality and content offerings of its Music & Sound platform:
