Usage by Copyright Years

Average eBooks Chapter Downloads 2008by Title and Copyright Year

• Unlike for journals content, the age of book

content seems not to play a very important

role. Books from 2005 were used almost as

frequently as books from 2006 and 2007.

• Books from 2008 were downloaded less often

in 2008 since they were uploaded on

SpringerLink in the course of the year and

were not available for the full twelve months.

• These data are quite consistent with data we

see at Google Book Search. It seems that in

an ‘online search environment’ the age of a

book is only of minor importance.

(N = 12,953)
