STM publisher Springer Science+Business Media, Germany, has announced that its online image database SpringerImages (www.SpringerImages.com), which launched in July 2009 with 1.5 million images, now includes over 2 million images.
SpringerImages is a growing collection of scientific images, tables, charts and graphs from Images.MD, as well as images from Springer journals and books, including Open Access content. The images span all scientific subject areas. The platform allows users to search fast, broadly and accurately through captions and keywords (both author-provided and user-generated). It also provides bibliographic information for the sources, as well as one-click access to the full text, allowing users to delve deeper into the context of the image and research surrounding it.
According to Springer, images obtained from SpringerImages can be used for almost all non-commercial purposes, including integration into presentations and PDF documents. The platform enables the user to store image sets and saved searches. Image sets can be exported to PDF or PowerPoint (including their bibliographic data) with one click.
SpringerImages recently implemented Copyright Clearance Center's point of content licensing tool Rightslink for direct licensing needs.
