It’s yet another sign that academic libraries are looking to purchase more e-books. Ambassador Books and Media, a vendor of educational materials, announced Tuesday that it will resell e-books from ebrary, a company that provides electronic content and technology to libraries. Ambassador said the books will be sold in perpetuity to its customer base of educational institutions in more than 30 countries.
Under the agreement, Ambassador is expected to offer for purchase about 67,300 e-books and other titles from ebrary. —Andrea L. Foster
