STM publisher Springer Science+Business Media, Germany, has signed an agreement with the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL). Under the deal, Springer will provide OCUL member libraries with the complete Springer eBook Collection, 2005 - 2008. All of the 20 universities in Ontario are members of OCUL, including the University of Toronto, McMaster University, University of Guelph, and Nipissing University.
With the OCUL consortium deal, over 12,000 Springer eBooks will be made available to nearly 400,000 students and faculty within OCUL. The Springer eBook Collection consists of textbooks, monographs, reference works, handbooks, book series and encyclopedias.
With immediate effect, all students and researchers at individual universities will have electronic access and full archival rights to the Springer eBooks. Currently this includes more than 12,000 eBooks, all available on Springer's online platform, SpringerLink. SpringerLink also includes millions of articles from Springer's peer-reviewed journals and reference works.
