ANKOS consortium has been using Springerjournals since 2001 with great success.

In 2003, some member libraries enquired aboutaccess to Springer E-Book Series.

Until then, only METU and Tubitak-Ulakbim had subscriptions to the paper versions of some of theBook Series.

From March – May 2003, all 34 ANKOS members whouse Springer Link tested the Book Series on a free trial.
