PALO ALTO, Calif. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - According to the National Crime Prevention Council, 43% of teens have
been the victims of cyber bullying in the past year. To help parents,
educators, and others better understand, prevent, and take action
against this growing concern, ebrary, a leading provider of digital
content products and technologies, today announced it is subsidizing a
collection of open access e-books on cyber bullying and will enable
other organizations to contribute materials as long as they have
copyrights.
"As an internet company and content provider, we feel it is our duty to
help the community better understand important issues such as cyber
bullying," said Christopher Warnock, CEO of ebrary. "By subsidizing
authoritative materials from our trusted publishing partners and
enabling others to upload and integrate their own critical information,
we hope to provide a valuable resource for anyone who wants to address
this growing problem."
