ebrary Announces Content Agreement with Palgrave, a Holtzbrinck Company
Global Academic Publisher to Provide Higher Ed. Monographs and Texts, and Business Content on ebrary.com

London Book Fair – Booth K187, March 26, 2001 – ebrary™ (www.ebrary.com), the authoritative source for online content and research, today announced that Palgrave, the academic division of Macmillan and part of the Holtzbrinck Group, will make hundreds of its titles available on ebrary.com. The agreement will give ebrary.com patrons access to a wealth of international academic publications with a primary focus on humanities, social science, business, computing and engineering, while providing Palgrave with additional revenue opportunities, online copyright protection and increased exposure.

“Palgrave aims to be a leader in electronic publishing, and we are continually expanding and enhancing our publishing activities and leveraging new technologies to achieve this goal,” said Sam Burridge, Business Development Director. “With ebrary, we now have the ability to cross language and geographic boundaries and make our works more widely available, knowing our copyrights are secure.”

“Our association with Palgrave, a distinguished name in the publishing industry and long associated with the highest intellectual achievement, gives credibility to our model of providing high value copyrighted content to Internet users worldwide,” said Tom Turvey, ebrary’s VP, Content and Business Development. “Students, academics, professionals and anyone with learning or researching requirements will soon have online access to a significant part of Palgrave’s collection of valuable books including everything from scholarly monographs and textbooks to leading books for business professionals and serious non-fiction for the general reader.”

The Key to Content
ebrary is creating a rich online collection of books, journals, periodicals and digitally archived materials, most of which have never before been available on the Web. ebrary.com patrons can freely browse and search authoritative copyrighted information online without membership or subscription fees. They pay only for copying or printing portions of the documents they need. ebrary also provides powerful and intuitive tools that enable full text searches; search by publisher, author or subject; navigation through any document; and the ability to access translations, maps and other comprehension tools. Online documents maintain the unique visual design of the originals. Links to online booksellers are available.

For publishers and authors, ebrary offers new ways to securely distribute high value copyrighted content online, expose documents to wider markets and increase revenues.
