"It's fitting that as we enter into our second century, we begin to establish partnerships that will help us fulfill our founding mission—to aid in the discovery and dissemination of knowledge—well into the future," said John Donatich, Director, Yale University Press.  "With this in mind, we are very pleased to be working with NetLibrary and excited by the new opportunities that this relationship will afford."

"OCLC NetLibrary is pleased to be able to offer titles from Yale University Press, one of the most distinguished American university presses," said Chip Nilges, Vice President, OCLC Business Development.  "These titles represent works that promote a greater understanding of our world, and will be of great benefit to users of all libraries, and particularly academic institutions."

There are more than 400 Yale University Press titles currently available through NetLibrary, and a total of more than 2,000 titles will be added once the backlist is digitized.
