B2B publisher PennWell Corporation, US, has announced a partnership with US-based digital content products and technologies provider ebrary. Under the deal, information from PennWell’s oil and gas e-books will be made available online for the first time. Corporations in petroleum, power and related industries can now expect to make it easier for employees to find, use and manage the information they need online.
All PennWell titles will be delivered via ebrary’s interface and include technology that seeks to make it easy to pinpoint and manage relevant information from multiple sources within the organisation and on the web. With InfoTools, scientists and engineers can select words of interest in a PennWell e-book, and automatically link to additional statistics, regulations, process charts, and other information within the collection and other online resources. Additionally, personal bookshelves make storing, managing, and sharing highlights, notes, and hyperlinks quick and efficient.
Corporations may subscribe to the entire PennWell collection with unlimited organisation-wide access and new titles added at no additional cost, or purchase different packages to meet their needs. The selection may be previewed at http://tinyurl.com/pennwell.
