Extra Materials for Springer E-Books
Springer has released print books with supplementary content on CDs and DVDs. However, this content is not included in the e-books Springer offers. Rather, they have posted supplementary content to their Springer Extra Materials site.
If you find a Springer e-book through our catalog or the SpringerLink site and the contents are incomplete, note the ISBN and search for it on the Springer Extra Materials site. The UMass Amherst Libraries have Springer e-books published in English between 2005-2008.

For the username and password to login to AccessEngineering, contact Maxine Schmidt at 413-545-3739. This trial will continue until March 1st, 2010.
