[LIS-Forum] Book on 'Open Access' by Peter Suber

[Shamprasad Pujar]

Dear Members,

In this concise introduction, Peter Suber, who is considered as a leader of
worldwide Open Access movement, explains in this book what open access is
and isn’t, how it benefits authors and readers of research, how we pay for
it, how it avoids copyright problems, how it has moved from the periphery
to the mainstream, and what its future may hold. Distilling a decade of his
writing and thinking about open access, this is the indispensable book on
the subject for researchers, librarians, administrators, funders,
publishers, and policy makers. It has been published by MIT Press.

Full text of the book in various formats is available at:

I hope you may find it useful.

Regards,

Pujar
