Springer releases thousands of technical books through its website

The Springer publishing house has changed the conditions of its books and now, those books that are more than 10 years old they will be released almost completely. This will mean that we can photocopy, quote, reproduce, etc ... at no cost or in violation of any law, but we cannot resell Springer books or make money from the reproduction of these books.

Springer is a publisher specialized in technical and specialized books, books that we will be able to see in universities, in upper secondary school courses, etc ... Very technical books that many of them are more than 10 years old or will be close to it.

At the moment we can only get the list and the ebooks on the Springer website, but it is true that through the change in the conditions, Springer customers will be able to benefit from the first moment without any legal problem.

Springer is not a brand or a well-known name but it is true that it is more present than we think. This change is estimated will affect thousands of textbooks and they could be expanded over the years. On the other hand, by changing this, Springer facilitates the use of digitization of these books by libraries and the release and availability of that knowledge for all students.

Personally, I think this measure is interesting and positive for everyone, especially for students. Thanks to the Internet, in many cases the information becomes obsolete in a matter of months, that is, many of the books that are released do not need to wait until 70 years to see their content assimilated and expired. I think that 10 years is a suitable figure for everyonefor both Springer and its student clients. Unfortunately Springer will be the only one to perform this type of action, the only one for a long time surely. In any case, through on the web you can get these books.
