(Apologies for duplicate postings)

While here at the London Online meeting, I happened to see a demo of SpringerMaterials (http://www.springermaterials.com). This is the new electronic version of “Landolt-Boernstein”. Now the last time I mentioned Landolt-Boernstein on the chminf-l Iist, there were lots of replies about unrealistic pricing.   I am assured that this electronic version will cost you half as much as the old print Handbuch, or even less. Think tiered pricing and flexible licensing options. And you can still get print if you really want it.

Aside from the marketing issues, I noted a rather nice interface and an expert option that helps with the Handbuch “classification”. The legacy data is offered as PDF pages but new data will be added next year (and ongoing).  

Definitely worth a look.
