Förlaget Springer gör om sin SpringerLink sida: Se den nya- ännu i "beta"här: SpringerLink

En något gammal nyhet från mars 2006, som är nog så intressant:
Google Scholar Adds Pay-Per-View Delivery from The British Library. Även om det ännu är dyrt, så kanske det i framtiden behövs allt mindre av bibliotekens fjärrlånetjänster.
Priser?
"Immediate download: £7.45 (U.K.) £7.75 (International)
Standard delivery—electronic: £7.45 (U.K.) £7.75 (International)
24-hour delivery—electronic: £16.00
2-hour delivery—electronic: £21.00
Mail: £7.75 (U.K.) £8.25 (International) "
Till detta kommer copyright fees.

... building a market for articles—as opposed to a market for subscriptions—powered by Google could affect future developments in the document delivery marketplace...."
Många förlag & "aggregators" och andra dokumentleverantörer har redan pay-per-view system som är lättillgängliga och inte alltför kostsamma.
