ProQuest has acquired ebook pioneer ebrary.
The agreement brings a quarter of a million e-books to ProQuest's already significant content offerings.
The combined collection will enable users to search seamlessly across multiple formats - books, journals, dissertations, newspapers, video, and more - and across eight centuries of the world's knowledge.
Founded in 1999, ebrary was a pioneer in the e-book industry and has built a reputation for providing consistent innovation that supports the research experience. It increased its annual revenue by 30% in 2010.
ProQuest plans continued investment in ebrary's popular products and services for the academic, corporate, and public library markets.
