[lg policy] Directory of Open Access Books

[Dave Sayers]

Recently launched, the DOAB contains freely available academic books in many subject 
areas. Actually, from what I can tell, it's just a collection of links to stuff 
hosted elsewhere, e.g. on OAPEN.org, and on various universities' and publishers' 
servers. For that reason, as links change, reliability may vary. Still, a useful 
resource.

Current headcount of books in different subject areas:
History: 294 books
Languages and Literature: 172
Linguistics: 40
Media and Communication: 52
Political Science: 142

On the subject of open-access books, here's a related article published yesterday by 
Times Higher:

Happy reading :)
