BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, U.S.A. - Jan. 3, 2007 - EBSCO Information Services is recognized in the sixth annual EContent 100, EContent magazine's list of the companies that matter most in the digital content industry.

A leader in services for the access and management of electronic journals, packages and databases, as well as a provider of traditional print subscription services, EBSCO has appeared in the EContent 100 annually since the inaugural list was published in December 2001.

"Despite the steady march of consolidation and the rapid clip of innovation, our list bears at least a third, if not half, of the same names from one year to the next," said EContent Editor Michelle Manafy. "To put this in a more positive light: Some of the truly great digital content industry players continue not only to survive, but to thrive. … We carefully reconsidered last year's list members and kept only those companies who we agreed continue to lead the industry. … Only the strongest survived."

The list is available in the December 2006 issue of EContent magazine, and may also be viewed online at www.econtentmag.com.
