• For many years the Central Cancer Library had
  current subscriptions (print and online) to a
  range of Springer journals and book series. There
  always was a group of Springer titles we could
  not afford to purchase, but with valuable content
  of interest to our medical and research staff.
  The e-journal subject collections of Springer
  offers our end-users access to a wide range of
  eJournals with the advantage of direct access and
  full-text browsing for the users, less
  administrative work for the library and a fixed
  annual fee. The same holds for Springers eBook
  subject collections and Springer Protocols.
  Springer Journals, Protocols and eBooks are
  indexed in databases, such as Google PubMed,
  both very popular search engines to our
  end-users, The ownership model Springer offers
  for the eBooks is important to us. Our (book)
  collection is unique in the Netherlands and
  serves as a reference collection in the field of
  oncology and cancer research. The expectations
  about Springer Protocols is reflected in the
  usage statistics during the trial period. Several
  monographs of the Methods in Molecular Biology
  and Methods in Molecular Medicine series have
  been purchased over the years and the library
  received frequent requests for these titles and
  recently published volumes. Access to these
  publications is easy bibliographic coverage of
  the individual articles is covered by Pubmed and
  the integrated access on SpringerLink is
  self-evident. The quality of Springers
  publications and products is a prerequisite easy
  access and well designed interface is much
  appreciated by NKI-AVL staff members. These
  products and publications contribute to the
  smooth conversion of the Central Cancer Library
  towards a modern and well equipped Scientific
  Information Center for Cancer Research and
  Oncology.
