Springer content solutions for science and technology 24 Olga Chiarcos and Elwin Gardeur Usage by Copyright Years Average eBooks Chapter Downloads 2008 by 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 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)
