New e-books collections – Springer

The USF Libraries have recently purchased three Springer e-book collections with close to 2,000 titles. These ebooks are available 24/7 with an unlimited number of users. All titles are fully searchable. The Springer ebooks are fully integrated with the Springer Online Journals for convenience. All collections include publications from 2005-2008. As USF does not provide access to all 28,000 titles on the Springer site, titles owned by USF are flagged with a green icon. The collections acquired by USF are:
