Abstract
Springer is a major publisher of academic and professional journals, providing content that supports research and study, and articles suitable for course projects. With the purchase of the Online Archive Collection, UCF would gain perpetual rights to all Springer journals and book series from the first volume to 1996. Many of the included journals were started in the 1800’s, so the 961 titles comprise 34,454 individual volumes. Because the Libraries currently provides online access to all Springer journals from 1997 through to the present, this purchase of would enable UCF to access to all online journal content available from Springer.
The Springer Online Archive Collection is distinct from the Complete Springer eBook Collection 2005-2009 that was funded by the Technology Fee in 2009-2010, and from the Libraries’ current journals subscriptions. UCF users are discovering Archive content when they access the eBooks and current journals on SpringerLink. The Online Archive Collection complements the eBooks and the Libraries’ current subscriptions, and would give UCF access to almost all of Springer’s online English-language content.
Fair use of Springer content is permitted for educational purposes, including embedding links to the articles in Webcourses. Access would be available to all UCF students and employees, with off campus access enabled by EZproxy.
