We are pleased to inform you that SpringerLink is moving to a new and much improved platform. The new SpringerLink is faster, easier to use, and optimized for most mobile devices.
Access via Beloit College will be migrated to the new site on Monday, November 26. In order to prepare you for this migration we would like to share some information with you.
Redirection and Linking:
Springer will redirect all users to the new SpringerLink upon migration, meaning that if you try to access any Springer content within Beloit College, you will be redirected to link.springer.com. So whether you find a Springer article on Google, via Belcat or even using an old Springerlink direct url, you will be redirected to the article on link.springer.com.
My SpringerLink:
Individual accounts from the old SpringerLink will unfortunately not be migrated.
You will need to go to link.springer.com and set up a new profile/account. Make sure to do this while within the college’s IP range as you will then be automatically associated to Beloit’s access rights, meaning that remote access to link.springer.com is set up immediately.
Training:
Webinar training sessions are available throughout the coming months. During these sessions you will be informed about features and functionalities of link.springer.com. There will also be plenty of time to ask questions.
We invite you to register for one of these training sessions via the Springer training page.
In case you have any questions please feel free to contact Springer’s Online Service Desk via:
An extensive FAQ and future training dates can be found here.
If you have any questions, or if you have a SpringerLink account and would like assistance with migrating your saved searches and results, please contact Josh Hickman at hickmanj@beloit.edu or x2246.
