Spanish Language Books Now Online At ebrary

Mountainview (ots)

Libraries can now offer their patrons
simultaneous, multi-user access to a growing database of more than
1'000 Spanish language books online - at any time, from anywhere.
ebrary (www.ebrary.com), a leading provider of information
distribution and retrieval services today announced the availability
of its Spanish language collection provided by e-Libro, the leading
digital e-publisher in the Spanish book market. The new collection is
available as part of the ebrarian(tm) for Libraries database, which
features more than 13'000 searchable, full-text titles from over 130
leading academic, trade and professional publishers.
"As the Hispanic community in the U.S. as well as other countries
continues to grow, it is increasingly important to provide patrons
and students with the resources they need to learn Spanish and better
understand the Hispanic culture," said Sergio Cabello, CEO of
e-Libro. "At the same time, it is equally important for Spanish
speaking students and others to be able to access the books that they
require to further their education. By providing a growing database
of Spanish language books, ebrary addresses a number of important
needs."
ebrary's new online Spanish collection spans academic subject
areas including business & economics, political science and sociology
as well as important documents related to U.S. citizenship. The
ebrarian for Libraries database also features powerful, easy-to-use
research tool that among other benefits, allow patrons to
automatically link to knowledge resources such as definitions,
biographical information, maps and more by selecting words or
phrases. ebrarian integrates with existing library catalog systems
and digital resources, and ebrary provides full MARC records.
"ebrary's goal is to help libraries facilitate information and
knowledge sharing globally, regardless of geographical or language
barriers," said Christopher Warnock, CEO of ebrary. "Adding
collections in foreign languages such as Spanish, which is one of the
most widely spoken languages in the world, is key to achieving this
goal. "
