Transaction Publishers Distributes Ebooks Through ebrary
Hundreds of recently published, multidisciplinary ebooks from Transaction Publishers (www.transactionpub.com) will soon be available for purchase through ebrary (www.ebrary.com), a provider of digital content products and technologies. The company announced that the new selection from Transaction, which can be seamlessly integrated with Academic Complete or any other ebrary product, features primarily new and recently published titles as well as select classic works by leading international figures in the social sciences such as Edward Shils, David Farrington, David Smith, and Wendell Bell."While Transaction will be offering subject collections and individual titles from its own eBookstore, we also wanted to work with a respected partner with strong roots in the library community," said Irving Louis Horowitz, Transaction's founder, chairman, and editorial director. "Our president Mary Curtis and I have watched ebrary's development over the years. ebrary's technology is widely accepted, and its eBooks are sold to libraries and library approval plans in the United States and overseas. In deciding who to partner with in launching our eBooks, we concluded that ebrary was unquestionably the first choice." Libraries and other organizations may purchase Transaction titles directly through ebrary, its global network of resellers, and select book vendors including YBP, Ambassador, Blackwell, and Matthews. Transaction Publishers is an independent publisher of social scientific books and serials. It is located on the campus of Rutgers University in Piscataway, N.J. ebrary helps libraries, corporations, publishers, and consumers get the most out of their digital content. The company offers a growing selection of more than 170,000 digital books, handbooks, reports, maps, journals, and other valuable content from more than 350 leading publishers under flexible subscription, purchase, and usage-based models. Additionally, ebrary offers epublishing services for customers to cost-effectively distribute their own PDF content online on ebrary's servers or their own. Source: ebrary
