STM publisher Springer Science+Business Media, Germany, has announced the successful completion of the MyCopy pilot project. The publishing group has, with immediate effect, extended this eBook service to all academic libraries in the US and Canada that have purchased Springer eBook Collections. All registered library patrons will now be able to order a softcover copy of a Springer eBook for their personal use by clicking on a button on the Springer platform www.springerlink.com.
The MyCopy offer is currently valid for more than 11,000 electronic Springer books published since 2005. The new softcover format is branded as a MyCopy book with a colour cover and black and white book content. MyCopy books can only be ordered by registered patrons of those academic libraries that have purchased the corresponding eBook Collection. The entire ordering and shipping process will be handled by Springer in cooperation with a print-on-demand (POD) provider.
Thirty selected libraries and other research institutions in the US and Canada took part in the pilot project launched in November 2008.
