MindLeaders Partners with OCLC NetLibrary to Enhance Reference Library
DUBLIN, Ohio --(Business Wire)-- March 23, 2006 -- MindLeaders has launched a new version of its Reference Library product created through a partnership with OCLC NetLibrary, the e-content platform for the world's preeminent library service organization. Under the agreement, OCLC NetLibrary is providing eBooks that complement MindLeaders online courses through the MindLeaders Reference Library.
"Who better to partner with for reference than the organization that libraries around the world turn to?" said Carol Clark, MindLeaders President and CEO. "This partnership will enable us to offer a superior reference product at an affordable price. And, since both companies are headquartered in Dublin (OH), we will be able to work very closely together to provide the best online reference tool for our customers."
"NetLibrary offers a particularly strong selection of reference, business and technology eBooks to complement the variety of online courses offered by MindLeaders," said Jay Jordan, OCLC President and CEO. "This collaboration will certainly enhance the online learning experience."
Reference Library provides a blended learning solution that can support any training program. It contains a current selection of searchable, full-text copies of premier reference books from the major publishers in the industry. Learners can add notes and bookmarks online, email book information to a colleague, and record favorite titles on a personal list to revisit at any time.
The new Reference Library features more titles than were previously available in MindLeaders Select collections. The initial collection will contain 1,000 eBooks with a balance of Technology and Business subjects. Over time, the collection will continue to expand based on customer needs from NetLibrary's catalog of more than 100,000 eBooks, and it may eventually include other learning resources such as eAudioBooks and eJournals to offer MindLeaders customers additional blended learning tools.
