CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, September 19, 2005 - ProQuest Information and Learning will use the MyiLibrary platform to distribute more than 2000 sought-after medical and health e-books worldwide.

“We have been asked by many of our customers to bring electronic medical books to them and we're responding with titles that are truly at the top of the list for libraries,” said Roger Tritton, ProQuest senior publisher. “Having surveyed a number of potential e-book platforms we selected MyiLibrary as it offers a spectacular range of books on a flexible, easy-to-use platform, incorporating key features such as full-text searching that complement ProQuest's existing medical content in countless ways.” .

This agreement with MyiLibrary continues ProQuest's ongoing strategy to expand its STM content pool with highly respected and authoritative titles. The company recently signed licensing agreements with Nature Publishing Group, NewsRx and Alliance Publishing. In the past six months, ProQuest has added more than 150 new journal and other periodicals to ProQuest Medical and Health Complete.

Linda Vendryes, President of MyiLibrary commented: “We are delighted to have an agreement with ProQuest that will see a complete range of Medical, Nursing and Health e-book titles offered alongside the ProQuest full-text medical titles. With the ability to cross search the two resources, we have created the most powerful content offering available today to libraries in the health and medical fields”.
