ebrary Makes Agreement With Yale

Research/reference site ebrary ( http://www.ebrary.com/ ; it's not available yet) has announced an agreement with Yale University Press. Yale University Press will make its collections available through ebrary.com.

ebrary's concept is interesting; users can browse and search its collection without paying subscription fees. Fees come into play only when users want to copy or print a document.

The site is frustratingly short of information, and whenever I hear any company these days describe itself as "pre-IPO" all my hair stands up. The idea is interesting. We'll have to see how it looks in practice.
