ABC-Clio

About

ABC-CLIO combines more than 50 years of experience as the premier education and library publisher with a deep commitment to using digital and other emerging technologies to publish the highest quality materials.

Story

ABC-CLIO is an award-winning publisher of reference, contemporary thought, and professional development content, created to help students, educators, librarians, and general readers of all ages wrestle with complex challenges. Throughout our history, we have invested resources in the development of new content genres, giving our diverse customer and reader communities the opportunity to explore deep factual treatments of the topics that matter, and delivering the most current scholarship and perspectives on those topics.

We are a publishing organization that values and respects the work of scholars and researchers and we give our customers unprecedented access to their discoveries, analyses, and perspectives. Using multiple publishing formats, from the traditional encyclopedia and magazine, to new digital database and eBook genres, we are focused on making substantive contributions to the process of research and the promise of learning.

Mission

With the expanded publishing focus and reach resulting from ABC-CLIO’s acquisition of Greenwood Publishing Group and the addition of Linworth Publishing to the Libraries Unlimited imprint, ABC-CLIO continues its legacy of change and evolution. Today and for the future, we are tapping the power of digital publishing tools, online distribution, and technology-enabled collaboration to make positive and substantial impacts on teaching, learning, and scholarship.
