Springer E-Book Collection
The University of Iowa Libraries through CIC has licensed a large package of E-books from Springer Verlag, published between 2005 through 2008 (with selected pre-2005 content). This link should allow library users to search and retrieve books forming part of this package until we are able to add cataloging records to InfoHawk for individual books and to link to them through InfoLink. You can also view the Springer E-Book Collection through MyiLibrary.
