I always seem to run into at least one paper that is "locked" away in the springerlink database when I am doing research. It is nice to see that we finally have access to this database. Once you search for something on their database, it is easy to narrow your choices after selected their organized subject categories for your search. I also really like how there are links in the works cited that shows where each reference is located. You may not find the majorirty of your references here, but it will contain a couple good ones.
It seems that there are a lot books on topics we simply don't collect in this e-book database. Case in point: there are several books on web development using Adobe CS3 and CS4. This is awesome because we can't afford to get new books for every software release, but this would be a great way to have some in our collection without purchasing the physical copy. I say "KEEP!!"
I love how it has full books online. It also has great articles from different journals.
I love how I can find large sections of books and whole journal articles on my subject.
