Open Access Resources

Open Access Resources refers to resources that are digital and are freely available for viewing and/or use. Open Access is not the same as Public Domain, and most Open Access creators do retain their copyrights but it means availability to all, if you want to read or use.

 

Types of open access materials

Many sources have more than one type of document, just as a print journal may also publish conference papers or technical papers. 

  • Journals-either full open access or open access to back issues.
  • Books
  • Links to collections of textbooks, theses and dissertations 
  • Teaching materials like slides, tutorials, graphics, etc. Textbooks are listed separately under Books.
