Springer E-Book Trial: Clarification

By Ellen Meltzer, CDL Information Services Manager

In an earlier CDLINFO article (9/12/08), we informed you that “through December 31st 2008, a public trial of all English-language Springer electronic books is available to UC library users via the Springer Link website at http://springerlink.com/home/main.mpx.”  Because of semantic confusion relating to the extent of the coverage, we should have stated that the years included are 2005-2008 only.  Earlier works are not covered.  (Landolt-Bornstein titles are not included in the Springer ebook offering; they are already licensed separately.)
