Guest Column: The Key to Print-to-Digital Conversion: Simplicity
More than ever, libraries must carefully select content and validate that their choices are meeting user needs, but measuring the value of content is no longer as simple as counting how many times a book is checked out. Digital articles and books are increasingly part of a network of connected texts, where the linking trends of a particular article may be as important a factor in gauging its value as the more traditional access and usage measurements. In a Collection, all content is available on a single platform and textually interlinked, with the ability to search large swathes of information, even from other disciplines. Because Springer content is accessible through a single, integrated platform, all e-books are cross-searchable with e-journals and other Springer resources, expanding the patron's reach and increasing the collection's value.
