Ebrary has enlarged its collection of online books by 50% and agreed to distribute the publications and archival works of the Library of Congress, Bancroft Library, Marriott Library, Getty Images, Octavo and Maps.com. It is also making its technology platform available to libraries and other organizations who want to distribute their own material over their own networks. (Ebrary content can be read online free of charge, and only costs money to copy or print.)

Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
