ebrary Announces Strategic Content Agreement with Yale University Press
Prestigious Titles to be Made Available Online Through ebrary.com

Mountain View, Calif., April 16, 2001 – ebrary™ (www.ebrary.com), the authoritative source for online content and research, today announced that Yale University Press, the 90-year-old publishing leader with more than 3,000 titles in print, will make its collections available on ebrary.com. The initiative will give ebrary.com patrons access to thousands of works of poetry, history, literature, economics and language previously unavailable on the Web, while offering Yale University Press a new way to generate revenue and protect its copyrighted information on the Internet.

"ebrary will enable us to share our collections with students, professionals, researchers or anyone with Internet access without having to worry about copyright infringements. At the same time, ebrary ensures that our works maintain their unique visual design," said John G. Ryden, Director of Yale University Press. "From a business perspective, we also welcome the opportunity that ebrary presents to generate additional revenue, increase exposure and build branding. We are all extremely excited to work with ebrary on this important initiative."

"Yale’s contributions will greatly enhance ebrary.com as we continue to create the most extensive collection of authoritative and valuable content available on the Internet," said Christopher Warnock, CEO of ebrary. "The Yale collections offer a treasure trove of content, ranging from reference works to scholarly monographs. Readers around the world will have the opportunity to access groundbreaking books such as Henry Steele Commager's The American Mind; best-sellers including Eugene O'Neill's Long Day's Journey into Night; popular books such as Jaroslav Pelikan's Jesus through the Centuries; and new and ambitious series including the Culture & Civilization of China and the Annals of Communism and more."

The Key to Content
ebrary is creating a rich online collection of books, journals, maps, 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 the ability to copy or print portions of a document. Links to online booksellers are also available. Powerful and intuitive tools 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.

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