well as select classic works by leading international figures in the social sciences such as Edward Shils,

also wanted to work with a respected partner with strong roots in the library community,” said Irving Louis
Horowitz, Transaction’s founder, chairman, and editorial director. “Our president Mary Curtis and I have
watched ebrary’s development over the years. ebrary’s technology is widely accepted, and its eBooks are
sold to libraries and library approval plans in the United States and overseas. In deciding who to partner
with in launching our eBooks, we concluded that ebrary was unquestionably the first choice.”
“Transaction Publishers has been a highly regarded leader in the field of social science for over 40 years,”
said Leslie Lees, Vice President of Content Development at ebrary. “We are very proud to be selected by
Transaction to distribute their valuable titles, and look forward to making their authoritative content
