Safari Books Online’s on-demand digital learning library provides books, training videos, and learning resources from leading publishers and authors, all on a searchable, interactive learning platform. The new agreement to use Ingram Content Group’s CoreSource platform will allow Safari Books Online to reach the more than 850 publishers already using CoreSource for digital asset management and distribution. These publishers gain another channel to reach consumers, in addition to the 160-plus retailers and library distributors already connected.“Safari Books Online faces many challenges in aggregating content from numerous book and video publishers across the globe,” says Mark Brokering, vice president of content strategy, Safari Books Online. “Fortunately, many of our content suppliers are now taking advantage of the sophisticated digital-asset management tools offered by Ingram’s CoreSource.

CoreSource delivers a secure, searchable content repository and a high-capacity data distribution network, allowing publishers to move digital content easily and swiftly from their organization to any channel partner globally.
