ebrary Announces New SaaS for Government Documents

New Service Turns Disparate PDFs Into Searchable, Integrated Databases
PALO ALTO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
ebrary, a leading provider of digital content products and technologies, today
announced the availability of Software as a Service (SaaS) for governments that
makes information much more discoverable. With ebrary`s SaaS, agencies,
institutes, and centers can transform any PDF documents into searchable, highly
interactive databases that can be integrated into master sites, providing a
seamless way for end-users to find the important information they need online.

"Government websites contain some of the world`s most important information, but
it is not always easy to find the information you need without having to
navigate through numerous departmental websites. At the same time, it is nearly
impossible to search across the full text of the many PDF documents found on a
large number of government sites," said Kevin Sayar, President of ebrary.
"ebrary believes that our technology can help solve this problem, and we look
forward to helping governments better serve the public by making information
more discoverable."

ebrary will be debuting its new SaaS for government documents at Computers in
Libraries, April 12-14, 2010 in Arlington, VA (booth #817). To see how ebrary`s
technology works, visit ebrary`s complimentary Natural Disaster and Extreme
