Open Access

Open academic journals contain articles that are peer-reviewed and often have boards of editors controlling content.  

Open Access

These collections contain a combination of classic books that have passed into the public domain and new books published with creative commons licenses.

OA collections contain many different types of information in the public sphere.  Below are just a few examples of excellent sources for education.
