Ingram Digital SM, an Ingram content company focused on solutions for digital content management, hosting, distribution and promotion, today announced that it is launching three collections of Information Technology (IT) titles by leading IT publisher IGI Global on the MyiLibrary™ e-content aggregation platform.

The addition of the IGI Global collections contributes to make MyiLibrary’s inventory of IT-related e-content, among the richest available to libraries today.
Made up of more than 800 e-books, the IGI Global 2000-2008 collection includes computer science and information technology management titles. Ingram Digital is offering a 2008 Frontlist collection as well, featuring over 200 titles to be added by the end of the year. In addition, Ingram Digital has negotiated the rights to pre-sell more than 300 titles due to be released next year as a 2009 Frontlist collection.
