NetLibrary announces agreements with 21 international publishers
DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 1 February 2008—NetLibrary, OCLC's platform for eContent and the leading provider of eBooks for the institutional library market, has announced agreements with 21 leading publishers that will add thousands of new eBooks and eAudiobooks to NetLibrary's growing catalog of more than 160,000 titles.
This international agreement will be a great source of free documents for scholars and students. Score one for open source!
I sometimes wonder if Americans cares at all about education. The opening of the market further shows that financial profit need not be the motivation behind publishers when working with libraries. Libraries everywhere need more of this.
Any thoughts?
