Library Purchases Springer Computer Science eBook Sets 2005-2007 and 2008

Alkek Library has purchased the Springer Computer Science eBook packages for 2005-2007 and 2008. The acquisition of future years' sets will depend on budget and usefulness of the electronic format. With the purchase of these sets, Texas State also gets access to Lecture Notes of Computer Science from 1997 to present. The 1997-2004 access to LNCS will continue as long as we license the current year collection.

E-book titles and chapter headings are searchable at http://libproxy.txstate.edu/login?url=http://www.springerlink.com. Within the Computer Science subject collection, you may limit to content type “Books” or search all content types. If you do not specify content type, you will retrieve journal articles along with book chapters. A green square indicates titles with full-text access (PDF).

The titles are not yet in the library catalog but will be eventually. Meanwhile, a title list is viewable at http://www.springer.com/e-content/ebooks?SGWID=0-40791-12-377411-0 . The list will be updated as 2008 books are published and added to the collection.
