New SpringerLink eBooks and eJournals

Dalhouse University Libraries, as a member of the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN), has acquired for the Dalhousie community substantial holdings in SpringerLink, Springer's online content. Springer is one of the world's leading publishers of books and journals in science, technology and medicine.

Dalhousie's holdings in SpringerLink include the complete archive of and ongoing subscriptions to more than 1300 journals (i.e. the journal content goes back to vol. 1). We have also just acquired the complete catalogue of Springer ebooks (over 13,000 titles) from 2005 on. This catalogue includes imprints other than Springer, as well as many "books in series" and reference works.

To view or search this collection, visit the SpringerLink website at springerlink.com/ Materials accessible by Dalhousie users are marked with a small green box.

You may also access individual Springer ejournals through our ejournals webpage at www.library.dal.ca/Find/Journals/ as well as through the Novanet catalogue.

Springer books may also be accessed directly through MyiLibrary.

Please note that most Springer ebooks are not yet available in Novanet. Records for these books will be added over time.

To find out more about SpringerLink, see their brochure.
