Springer Launches Innovative Publisher-Based Image Collection |
|
|
After a year and a half of planning and development,
Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com), an
international scholarly publisher based in Germany but
operating in 20 countries, has launched SpringerImages . The
massive collection of 1.6 million scientific, technological,
and medical images includes photos, tables and figures,
charts, graphs, histograms, and other illustrations.
Although covering all scientific subject areas, some 61% of
the collection focuses on medical and life sciences. Drawing
on its own vast collection of content, Springer provides
multilayered, in-depth indexing. Subscribers can use the
material liberally as long as they do not use it for direct
commercial purposes. In an interesting development,
SpringerImages includes a small but growing collection of
open access images, which are available to anyone, no
registration required.

That for Me
Google recently added nine new languages to Google Translate: Afrikaans, Belarusian, Icelandic, Irish, Macedonian, Malay, Swahili, Welsh, and Yiddish (http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/google-translate-now-speaks-51.html). That means that Google Translate now supports 51 languages and 2,550 language pairs-including all 23 official EU languages. And the company is continuously working to improve the quality of all languages supported by Google Translate.
