In addition to enhanced discovery across ProQuest's platform, ProQuest
intends to expand ebrary's "ability to support new e-book devices as well
as broadening language coverage from its current support of major European
languages to include Chinese, Arabic and others...as well as to accelerate
the indexing of e-book content on its own all-new platform," according to
the release.
The acquisition comes less than a year after EBSCO's purchase of
NetLibrary from OCLC in March 2010, which gave EBSCO a similar opportunity
to expand in the ebook market
