"Bloomsbury Medieval Studies offers the best value proposition for schools with medieval studies programs, though it should appeal to any library that supports an undergraduate liberal arts curriculum or advanced scholarship in the arts, religion, history, literature, and other academic disciplines."

"I was sceptical [about Bloomsbury Medieval Studies] as we have a lot of resources on the topic already, but I was proven wrong. When I looked at it, it showed us what we didn’t realize we were lacking. It’s got great coverage of places, not just Western countries… It is really great, the worldwide coverage is something we’re not getting elsewhere."
