Fall is just around the corner, as is the Frankfurt Book Fair. Make sure you come by the Springer stand in Hall 4.2 G402 and find out about Springer's newest publishing initiative - the Springer eBooks Collection. Don't miss this opportunity to see a demo of the new eBooks Collection - a Springer representative will be happy to share it with you!

As digital editions of printed books, and produced simultaneously, eBooks offer numerous advantages to librarians and authors alike. They are part of SpringerLink our fully integrated online content platform that includes journals, books, and reference works. To increase availability of research, we have digitized the majority of our book program published since 2005, constantly adding new publications to provide quick and easy access to Springer books and to ensure large readership. Librarians can now offer patrons broader access to quality content through the unlimited access and use offered by the eBook Collection.

Springer will be hosting a special Panel Discussion on eBooks on:

Friday, October 6, 2006, 10:00 - 11:00 am
