Our goal is to make the acquisition of foreign content easy and ensure smooth access and supported by our experienced staff librarians and book specialists who understand the needs of libraries.

In 1989, a Soviet military specialist in Moscow and an American graduate student in New York City decided to start a business by distributing recently de-classified Soviet military journals. East View Publications, Inc. was born. It was the beginning of the end of the Cold War, and an opportunity to provide a higher level of customer service to a growing customer base was where they could excel.

East View Publications saw remarkable growth and became East View Information Services, along with the imprint, East View Press. The company’s original map department expanded into East View Geospatial and East View Map Link. Minneapolis became the headquarters location in 1990 but is now complimented by offices in Moscow, Kyiv, Nairobi, Beijing, and Hong Kong to reflect our global procurement experience and capabilities. East View is a multi-lingual Minnesota-based organization with language competencies on staff of English, Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Ukrainian, Polish, German, Arabic, Spanish, French, Korean, Portuguese, Swahili, and Yoruba.
