Mountainview (ots) -
Libraries can now offer their patrons simultaneous, multi-user access to a growing database of more than 1'000 Spanish language books online - at any time, from anywhere. ebrary (www.ebrary.com), a leading provider of information distribution and retrieval services today announced the availability of its Spanish language collection provided by e-Libro, the leading digital e-publisher in the Spanish book market. The new collection is available as part of the ebrarian(tm) for Libraries database, which features more than 13'000 searchable, full-text titles from over 130 leading academic, trade and professional publishers.
"As the Hispanic community in the U.S. as well as other countries continues to grow, it is increasingly important to provide patrons and students with the resources they need to learn Spanish and better understand the Hispanic culture," said Sergio Cabello, CEO of e-Libro. "At the same time, it is equally important for Spanish speaking students and others to be able to access the books that they require to further their education. By providing a growing database of Spanish language books, ebrary addresses a number of important needs."
ebrary's new online Spanish collection spans academic subject areas including business & economics, political science and sociology as well as important documents related to U.S. citizenship. The ebrarian for Libraries database also features powerful, easy-to-use research tool that among other benefits, allow patrons to automatically link to knowledge resources such as definitions, biographical information, maps and more by selecting words or phrases. ebrarian integrates with existing library catalog systems and digital resources, and ebrary provides full MARC records.
"ebrary's goal is to help libraries facilitate information and knowledge sharing globally, regardless of geographical or language barriers," said Christopher Warnock, CEO of ebrary. "Adding collections in foreign languages such as Spanish, which is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, is key to achieving this goal. "
