Mountain View, CA – June 4, 2001 – ebrary™ (www.ebrary.com), the leading provider of software for online delivery of copyrighted content, today announced that it has partnered with Springer-Verlag (www.springer-ny.com), a subsidiary of Bertelsmann AG.

"ebrary offers a unique approach to secure online content distribution," said Syed Hasan, business development manager for Springer-Verlag New York. "Rather than focus on a single site where Internet users can access its entire online library, ebrary is making its vertical collections available to channel partners such as Internet portals, e-learning providers and other high-traffic Websites through its ebrarian solution. This strategy enables us to reach large communities of Internet users, which in turn promotes sales of printed works, increases revenue sharing opportunities, and builds our brand on the Internet."

"Springer-Verlag is one of the most prestigious international scientific publishers today, with subsidiary representatives all over the world," said Tom Turvey, ebrary’s VP of content and business development. "Their valuable titles will greatly benefit our channel partners who require relevant, high-value content to retain and attract new customers and greatly enhance our ebrary.com destination site. We’re very proud that Springer-Verlag has joined our team."
