Libraries are important
partners for Springer, one of the most renowned scientific publishing houses in
the world. Without them, the scientific community would not have access to our
content, and our publications would remain a well-kept secret. When I started
at university, this "hall of knowledge" and its pride in collected
education were what fascinated me most.
Today, as a
publisher, I am especially proud to be part of a company that publishes more
than 5,500 new book titles and 1,700 journals every year. We first launched our Springer eBook
Collection at ALA 2006 in New Orleans
and celebrated by donating eBook collections worth US$ 1 million to the seven
universities most drastically affected by Hurricane Katrina. When we launched the product, we had 10,000
titles to offer. Now, less than two
years later, there are more than 25,000 – making us the largest eBook publisher
in the world.
SpringerLink,
our electronic platform, allows an instant overview of all material available
on a particular subject, whether in a journal or a book. Our online journal archiving activities now
allow access to all of our journals back to Volume 1, Issue 1, and in 2007,
SpringerLink enjoyed unprecedented growth in usage.
