[R] [External] Re: access for free more than 500 essential Springer Nature textbooks

The Excel file is what you need.
As Fabio remarked, the downloadable links are in column R

I normally read (and write) Excel files into R using library(openxlsx)
There are also several other packages on CRAN for reading and writing Excel.

MARC stands for
MAchine-Readable Cataloging.
Information is at the Library of Congress
