ebrary Announces New VP of Marketing and VP of Finance

Patricia Marriott, VP of Marketing and Diane Klein, VP of Finance, Bring Top-Level Experience to New Online Research Site

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Nov. 29, 2000 – ebrary™, the authoritative source for online research, today announced two new additions to its executive staff. The company has appointed Patricia Marriott as vice president of marketing and Diane Klein as vice president of finance. Marriott has more than 20 years experience in high-tech marketing, management and product development. Prior to joining ebrary, she was director of corporate marketing at Active Software Inc., a leading provider of e-business integration software, where she was responsible for corporate visibility and branding. Previously, she served as vice president of marketing for Presidio Systems, which licensed software products to pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies. Marriott also held senior marketing positions at Adobe Systems, Electronic Arts and Apple Computer.

“ebrary represents an incredible opportunity to bring centuries of published content to the Internet,” said Marriott. “Unlocking this wealth of information while protecting copyrights means that authoritative information can now be made available to anyone with Internet access. Publishers, authors, libraries and students will all benefit from ebrary’s technology and business model.”

Klein joins ebrary with an extensive management background in finance, operations, administration and human resources. For the past year she has worked as a management consultant to Internet and entertainment companies. Her projects have ranged from securing funding and working with investors to defining new revenue streams, preparing long and short- term business plans and implementing computer systems. Klein was also vice president of finance and administration at Fox Television Studios. There she provided financial and administrative oversight of this start-up television production company that rapidly grew to $150 million in revenues in a two-year time span.

“ebrary’s executive team has a broad understanding of the publishing industry and a vision that will change the way research is conducted online,” said Klein. “They have devised a way to expand the market for digital information while supporting the publishing industry’s revenue models and enabling libraries to offer patrons more content.” Christopher Warnock, ebrary chief executive officer, added, “We are fortunate to add these two highly experienced and respected individuals to our executive team. They bring us the depth and expertise we need to achieve our corporate goals.”

About ebrary

They pay only for the convenience of copying or printing the information they need, a model analogous to that of photocopying. Publishers gain control over new digital content revenue opportunities while working with their existing print production workflow. Libraries increase their collections with the availability of electronic books, journals, and archival works while making their own unique collections accessible to more patrons.
