What are SpringerLink books?
SpringerLink books are ebooks made available through the SpringerLink platform. Usually, you will be offered the choice of downloading specific chapters, rather than a whole book as you would on some other platforms. SpringerLink books can be searched directly in Catalyst, or in SpringerLink itself.
Where can I find SpringerLink?
You can always find a link to the library's SpringerLink subscription on the "Databases" tab on the library website. By linking to SpringerLink through the library website, you ensure that you are using our subscription.
