Friends, Here is a short letter I wrote to the Chancellor of UCL. Congratulations UCL for making available all your publications as open access. I just saw thie news story https://www.stm-publishing.com/ucl-press-celebrates-10-years-of-award-winni… . I value this policy of openness much more than the 32 Nobel Prizes your faculty have won. I wish all major universities around the world follow your model. Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

A new book on Open Universities by an Indian author is not open!

Dr Sanjay Mishra wrote in a recent post: "My *magnum opus* entitled "Handbook of Open Universities Around the World" is now available for pre-order at https://www.routledge.com/.../Mishra.../p/book/9781032754055 <https://www.routledge.com/Handbook-of-Open-Universities-Around-the-World/Mi…> With contributions from over 100 individuals, the handbook includes structured discussions about 47 universities promoting open education. It also includes 10 reflections from experts on the field providing global and regional overviews. If you are looking for an authoritative source on open universities, understand how these universities are changing and learn from their innovative practices, here is one source that delivers all you want. Recommend the work in your library. Routledge Books <https://www.facebook.com/RoutledgeBooksPublisher?__cft__[0]=AZXz_QYAczgA7W3…> . I would have expected a book on open universities to be an open access book available to all at no cost. What do you think?
