MyCopy service
Springer has extended its MyCopy service to library users in Europe. This service enables all registered library patrons to order a softcover copy of a Springer e-book for their personal use by clicking on a button on the SpringerLink platform. The softcover copies are priced at a flat fee of 24.95 euros (plus VAT where appropriate). This includes shipping and handling within Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK.
The MyCopy offer will be valid for more than 15,000 electronic Springer books published since 2005. The softcover format is branded as a MyCopy book with a color cover and black and white book content.
MyCopy books can only be ordered by registered patrons of academic libraries that have purchased the corresponding eBook Collection and have agreed to this service. The ordering and shipping process will be handled by Springer in cooperation with a print-on-demand (POD) provider.
