STM publisher Springer Science+Business Media has extended its MyCopy service to library users in Europe, with immediate effect. The move follows the successful launch of the service in the US and Canada.
The MyCopy offer will be valid for more than 15,000 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 academic libraries that have purchased the corresponding eBook Collection and have agreed to this service.
Registered library patrons can 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 softcover copies are priced at a flat fee of EUR 24.95. The entire ordering and shipping process will be handled by Springer in cooperation with a print-on-demand (POD) provider.
