Greenwood, a publishing imprint of ABC-CLIO, recently announced that it has entered into an agreement with YBP Library Services, a Baker & Taylor Company and the largest provider of materials to the academic market, in which YBP Library Services will act as its non-exclusive agent for the sale of Greenwood’s online databases in the United States. Libraries interested in the Greenwood databases may contact YBP Library Service’s dedicated internal staff, who will work closely with Greenwood to facilitate orders and inquiries, including the gathering of licensing information, trial availability, and follow-up on orders placed on any of the acclaimed Greenwood online databases.

“Partnering with Baker & Taylor’s YBP Library Services is a great way for us to reach a broader audience, and maximize exposure and sales of our terrific online resources,” said Ron Maas, Vice President at Greenwood. “We’re looking forward to helping provide librarians with an easier, more streamlined way to access our electronic references.”

Greenwood’s electronic reference offerings include the critically praised Pop Culture Universe, the Daily Life Online family, and the award-winning American Mosaic suite, which includes the recently launched American Indian Experience.
