Look Inside
What is "Look Inside"?
The ‘Look Inside’ feature offers a high quality PDF reading
experience, similar to that of Adobe Acrobat PDFs on SpringerLink, without requiring any software installation
or incurring the timely expense of downloading the entire PDF. Researchers may be familiar with similar
functionality that Google Books’ “Preview this book” offers. All elements of the book are stitched together
in one reader, including the cover image, any front matter, any back matter and every chapter from every part
of the eBook. A user can quickly glean the nature of the document by scanning thumbnails in the viewer to assess
the length and complexity of a document, find a table, graph or image needed for specific research or easily
view bibliographic references.
Does "Look Inside" require any special software?
No, there is no need to install or use Adobe Reader or any browser plug-in to view the full text.
Can I increase the size of the text or an image within the text?
Yes, simply click on the toolbar buttons to zoom in to meet low-vision needs or
to zoom out to facilitate faster scanning.

normal bookmarking functionality. He or she can also email a direct link to a specific page in a document
(note that all users must be successfully authenticated to view restricted pages).
