ebrary Tunes Up Its Online Collection With Sheet Music From Byron Hoyt

Mountainview (ots)

ebrary(TM) (www.ebrary.com), a leading
provider of information distribution and retrieval services, today
announced that it has licensed its technology to Byron Hoyt
(www.byronhoyt.com), the premier provider of resources for musical
excellence, to make more than 7'000 classical sheet music and
educational titles available online to libraries worldwide. Over the
next few months, the Byron Hoyt collection will grow to include
hundreds of thousands of pages of sheet music for bands, orchestras,
instruments and vocalists, spanning a wide range of genres from
classical to jazz, country, pop and rock & roll.
"Sheet music is a subject area that has long been overlooked by
the majority of database vendors despite the fact that a significant
number of patrons and students study or are interested in music,"
said Michael Keller University Librarian, and Director of Academic
Information Resources for Stanford University. "By offering a vast
collection of quality music that can be downloaded anytime, from
anywhere, Byron Hoyt and ebrary offer a significant advantage to
libraries worldwide."
Under terms of the agreement, ebrary will help distribute Byron
Hoyt's collection as a standalone database to libraries. The Byron
Hoyt collection may be seamlessly integrated with the ebrarian for
libraries database, which features over 13'000 digitized books in key
subject areas including business & economics, computers & technology
and social sciences from over 130 leading academic, trade and
professional publishers.
"One of the most wonderful things about music is that it is truly
a universal language-when listened to or when read-it transcends the
barrier of language," said Christopher Warnock, CEO of ebrary. "
Making sheet music and educational materials accessible online is a
great opportunity for libraries to provide valuable services to their
patrons."
Byron Hoyt is committed to the acquisition and sharing of musical
knowledge," said Gregory Cheng, Proprietor of Byron Hoyt. Partnering
with ebrary helps us to achieve this goal, and at the same time,
helps us to quickly and efficiently tap new online markets."
Byron Hoyt inaugurates its digital sheet music collection with
this partnership and more than 100'000 pages of music from Theodore
Presser's CD Sheet Music product.
"CD Sheet Music's application for libraries is especially strong
due to the extensive number of seminal works from the classical genre
and the quality of those files," said Thomas Broido, President of
Theodore Presser Company and President of the Music Publisher's
Association. " In ebrary and Byron Hoyt we have found the ideal
partners to deliver to institutions around the globe."

ebrary is currently accepting orders for the Byron Hoyt sheet music
collection. Libraries that sign up prior to December 31, 2002 may
take advantage of the companies' introductory offer, which includes
an annual subscription to the Byron Hoyt online database for $1'950
