Springer Launches Innovative Publisher-Based Image Collection
by Barbara Quint
Posted On July 16, 2009
www.springer.com), an international scholarly publisher based in Germany but operating in 20 countries, has launched SpringerImages
http://www.springerimages.com/ ]
The massive collection of 1.6 million scientific, technological, and medical images includes photos, tables and figures, charts, graphs, histograms, and other illustrations. Although covering all scientific subject areas, some 61% of the collection focuses on medical and life sciences. Drawing on its own vast collection of content, Springer provides multilayered, in-depth indexing. Subscribers can use the material liberally as long as they do not use it for direct commercial purposes. In an interesting development, SpringerImages includes a small but growing collection of open access images, which are available to anyone, no registration required.
