    Tuesday, Dow Jones & Company, a subsidiary of News Corp. (NWS: News ),
    said it has acquired database assets of U.K.-based The Library House Ltd.,
    thereby expanding the company's coverage of European venture capital data.

    Cambridge, U.K.-based Library House is a provider of data on emerging
    private companies in Europe. Dow Jones noted that the transaction with
    UK-based administrators Leonard Curtis concluded on December 23, 2008.

    The assets are expected to be combined with Dow Jones VentureSource, which
    tracks venture capital investment in companies throughout the U.S.,
    Canada, Europe, India, Israel and Greater China, and the current database
    customers of Library House will become VentureSource customers.

    The Library House deal continues Dow Jones's investments in businesses
    that offer commercial information and data services to enterprise
    customers.

    Such acquisitions, including last year's deal for U.K.-based
    eFinancialNews Holdings, help cushion Dow Jones from weakness in the
    consumer-advertising market.

    "The early-stage and pre-venture focus of Library House's coverage
    provides significant additional value to Dow Jones VentureSource customers
    by delivering new investment information on angel-, incubator-,
    government-, and university-backed companies in Europe, as well as
    strengthening existing coverage of European clean-technology firms." said
    Scott Schulman, president, Dow Jones Financial Information Services, the
    business group managing Dow Jones VentureSource.
