From the press release:

The Network of Alabama Academic Libraries (NAAL) and Springer have signed a ground-breaking license which grants the consortium perpetual access to Springer eBooks on SpringerLink.  This statewide agreement includes a customized license for Springer’s eBook Collections in Business and Economics, Biomedical and Life Sciences, and Behavioral Sciences.  From large academic libraries such as Auburn University and the University of Alabama, to smaller institutions such as Tuskeegee University and Spring Hill College, all of NAAL’s 21 general members will have access under this agreement.

Ron Leonard, the Director of NAAL, said, “Recognizing that eBooks are becoming more popular and widely used on academic campuses, NAAL sought out an eBook vendor that could provide quality front list titles at affordable prices.  Additionally, it wanted to work with an eBook vendor that is in tune with librarians’ concerns regarding DRM, ILL, as well as the provision of MARC records.  Springer delivered on all fronts.”
