From: "Hamaker, Charles" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 19 Aug 2013 12:19:15 +0000 I thought members of the list and certainly all academic focused ebook providers would be interested in this announcement from Springerlink ******* Springer launches full book download feature Current trends show that the use of tablets and other mobile devices on SpringerLink and Springer for R&D is growing exponentially. The platforms support any device by automatically adjusting the site-setup to the optimal screen size of the device that is used to visit the site. Springer is pleased to introduce the 'full book download functionality' on SpringerLink and Springer for R&D in response to the high demand for this feature by our authors, researchers and library customers. This new functionality allows users to download all chapters of a book in one go. In addition to this feature, users can view an eBook on SpringerLink and Springer for R&D through the LookInside, and download the individual chapters as PDF and/ or HTML format. The chapter level and full book PDF is available to subscribed users without restrictions. The LookInside always shows some sample pages to unsubscribed users, and the full chapter to subscribed users. http://www.springer.com/?SGWID=0-0-1500-21096830&utm_campaign=LCM20221_1&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_source=email&wt_mc=email.newsletter.LCM20221_1 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Hamaker M.L.S | Associate University Librarian Collection Development and Electronic Resources UNC Charlotte | J.
