ebrary Launches New Reader Software; Announces Deal with SAGE
ebrary (http://www.ebrary.com) announced that it has launched a new version of the ebrary Reader, its free software application that turns static PDF files into research-ready documents that can be cross-referenced and searched online. It now supports the Firefox and Mozilla Web browsers and offers customizable bibliographical citation formats and refined InfoTools search.ebrary now offers four different citation styles, including Modern Language Association (MLA), American Psychological Association (APA), Alliance for Computers and Writing (ACW), and the ebrary default. End users can now instantly conduct advanced searches across all ebrary documents using the Search All Documents menu item on InfoTools. They can search for key words and phrases using a number of combinations, including searching by full text, subject, title, contributor (author), or publisher. Results appear in a new browser window, so users never lose their initial place of reference. The search terms are automatically added to ebrary's Advanced Search tab, where the search may be refined further. ebrary also announced that SAGE Publications will make hundreds of full-text, scholarly monographs available through ebrary's Dynamic Content Platform (DCP). SAGE content will enhance ebrary's Academic Complete and Government Complete subscription databases with current titles in subject areas such as business and economics, communications, education, health policy and research, politics, psychology, and sociology. ebrary says it will announce additional publisher agreements at the ALA conference in late June, in conjunction with the availability of its new perpetual access option.
