“Since integrating ebrary content and research tools within our own Website using eXtend, we have seen a significant increase in usage. With ebrary’s new APIs, students can now access valuable book content from leading publishers and take advantage of powerful research tools from any computer, without leaving the Staffordshire site.”

Head of Learning Support, Information Services,
for Staffordshire University.

eXtend is a free set of XML-based Web APIs that enables ebrary partners and customers to seamlessly integrate ebrary content and functionality using their own interface, existing infrastructure and brand.
