[Eril-l] Buying ebooks form Springer/Palgrave?

[Laura Vogler]

Hi Cindy,

I have come across this issue as well with Oxford titles.  I am searching for a title, see it is in Oxford, but the system says only available in a package.  For a specific instance with Oxford, it was a handbook and the only way I could get it was to purchase it as part of a collection.  I really wish publishers wouldn't put up these barriers to access.  While most of can probably afford the one title, many of us cannot afford the collection.  And why would we want to purchase an entire collection when we don't want all those extra titles?

Laura

Hi - I see in GOBI that a title I want is available through Springer. It's a Palgrave book.  GOBI indicates that it's only available through a package. Can any of you tell me how I can order an individual title for library sharing? Is there a listserv that's more pertinent for these types of questions? 9781137553393
