IHS Inc., a global source of critical information and insight, has announced an expanded partnership agreement with STM publisher Springer.
This expanded agreement allows IHS to globally sell Springer's Engineering eBook Collection, Industry Collections and the SpringerMaterials database, including Landolt-Börnstein New Series, with a focus on the corporate researcher. This is in addition to the existing relationship which full-text indexes more than four million Springer articles, eBooks, reference works and other technical information.
Through the IHS Knowledge Collections, IHS provides engineers, scientists and other technical professionals with enhanced knowledge discovery of answers deep within more than 90 million technical documents. This data spans engineering eBooks, articles and publications, patents, technical research, engineering best practices and design methods and interactive engineering content.

Inclusion of Springer's authoritative content into the IHS Knowledge Collections enhances the existing base of more than 4,000 eBooks within the more than 90 million technical documents accessible within the IHS Knowledge Collections. IHS and Springer will continue to work closely to identify further opportunities for development, marketing and accessibility of critical content on the Springer for R&D platform.
