May 2018 | Springer Nature has replaced its MARC Downloader with an enhanced Metadata Downloader which is seeing fast uptake from the global library community. We asked two of the minds behind the tool - Sebastian Bock, Digital Product Manager in the Metadata Management Team and Björn Johansson, Senior UX Designer – what had inspired the new tool, what improvements they’ve made, and how it has been welcomed by librarians.

5 ways to get more from your journal subscriptions

May 2018 | Today’s library is responsible for a whole raft of services - from content analysis and reporting, data-management and platform integration - to publicity, marketing and training. With significant budget invested in journal subscriptions, it’s vital to achieve a strong return. We’ve worked with libraries across the globe to test out the most effective ways you can improve journal discovery and usage at your institution.

Update to Springer Nature registered company names

May 2018 | As a global publisher, Springer Nature is home to a family of brands, businesses and imprints that include some of the most famous names in academic, education and professional publishing.
