2. About this trial Scientific Knowledge Services as a group started distributing printed books and journals in 1993. Although now over 80% of its turnover is made from electronic sources in information, SKS still continue supplying organizations with print materials, at their choice. In January 2013, Scientific Knowledge Services (SKS), a subscription agency registered in Switzerland, having more than 20 years of experience in distributing journals, books and other academic materials, in any format and the global publishing company Springer Science + Business Media (formerly known as Springer Verlag), working in close contact with a selected number of academic institutions from Hungary decided to run a trial for two months (February and March) for Springer eBooks

5. SKS Trial Related Activities In a joint effort with Hungarian institutions, Scientific Knowledge Services organized a number of presentations across Hungary. Institutions in Budapest, Debrecen and Pecs have been visited and more than 70 librarians took benefits of a custom introduction to these information products. Hungarian translation was available and professionals had the chance to interact in open Questions and Answers Sessions. SKS policy is to become a trusted partner of libraries in Hungary, exceeding the role of a vendor. We are open to propose a partnership in which our customers gain not only access to high impact scientific information at decent prices, but also balanced information about products, transparent negotiations and our commitment to work togather in promoting, make efficient use and continously evaluate these academic resources.
