Mountain View, Calif., February 20, 2001 – ebrary™, the authoritative source for online research, today announced the appointment of John Kulka, to the position of director of content acquisition.

“I am very excited John will join us in creating ebrary’s comprehensive online library of authoritative electronic content,” said Tom Turvey, ebrary’s vice president of content and business development. “Working with John at Barnes & Noble, I experienced firsthand his expansive knowledge of the mechanics of the publishing industry and his keen sense of selective acquisition.”
