Springer books can be found in any of the following ways:
Searching
Springer ebooks are pdfs and either the entire book can be dowloaded or you can download individual chapters. Springer titles are in SOUTHcat, so search by keyword and limit to Marx Library Electronic books. The Marx Library owns both Springer journals and Springer ebooks, so if you want only books, be sure to limit your search by clicking on the word books.
Once you've clicked on Books in the Basic search, you can search books only using keywords or narrowing by discipline, subdiscipline, publisher or language.
Springer ebooks can be downloaded as a full book or as individual chapters. You can also purchase a print copy of any ebook owned by the USA Libraries for $24.99. Just remember that, if you choose to purchase the book, it is you who will be paying, not the library!
