There are some very good subject collections as well including Artificial Intelligence (AI), which have become very popular in Southeast Asia already.

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Correction to my earlier post on OA books from the MIT Press

 

Friends,

 

First my apologies for posting some incorrect information on the MIT Press books that are available on open access. It was first brought to my attention by Dr Francis Jayakanth. Thank you Francis. 

 

Here is an excerpt from a letter from a senior member of the MIT Press staff:

 

"There are gated/non-OA books on our MIT Press Direct platform in addition to our open access titles.

 

If you wish to view just the open access titles that are available on our platform, please visit http://mitpress.mit.edu/d2o_books. That list should update automatically as new OA titles are added.

 

If you wish to catalog our open access titles and can use MARC records or KBART to do so, we make those available for direct download on our site. Here they are as well:

 

  • MARC records are available in three formats: .mrc | .mrk | .mrk8
  • KBART Open Access Collection:  csv | txt 

 

We also work with a number of the major discovery services (Clarivate/ProQuest/ExLibris, EBSCO Discovery Service, and OCLC WorldCat/WMS) to make our open access books available as a collection."

In addition, for libraries in India which would like to be participating libraries in the D2O programme, the MIT Press has a special rate (applicable to lower middle income economies according to the World Bank classification. 

 

With best wishes,
