Open Educational Resources (OER): OA Books

The primary aim of DOAB is to increase discoverability of Open Access books.

IntechOpen is specifically for scientists. It is the the world's leading publisher of Open Access books. In addition, their books are submitted to relevant abstracting and indexing services including Web of Science - Book Citation Index, Crossref, Google Scholar, WorldCat, BASE, EBSCO A-to-Z, Open AIRE, CNKI Scholar, RePEc, ExLibris SFX.

OASIS currently searches open content from 117 different sources and contains 388,707 records.

Their goal is to provide a page on the web for every book ever published. At its heart, Open Library is a catalog.

OpenStax publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed, openly licensed textbooks that are absolutely free online and low cost in print. For all our available formats, visit openstax.org and select the subject that interests you.

Open textbooks are licensed by authors and publishers to be freely used and adapted. Download, edit and distribute them at no cost.
The Open Textbook Library is supported by the Open Education Network

This list of OER was compiled by the University of Pittsburgh libraries. The list of open educational resources includes complete courses, open access books, large repositories, multimedia, images, and artwork.
