LibGuides: Open Educational Resources (OER): COVID-19 Temporary Vendor Offers

Resources Temporarily Available FREE or on Modified Terms

Resources updated and curated by OER Specialist Hanni Nabahe--please contact her with updates or changes.

Commercial Vendors and Publishers

Expanded temporary access to JSTOR's collection of over 35,000 ebooks, in addition to all JSTOR Archive and Primary Source collections, is now available through December 31, 2020.

Academic Publishers

Among the publishers currently opting to make content free on Project MUSE are Johns Hopkins University Press (all books and journals), Ohio State University Press (all books and journals), University of Nebraska Press (all books and journals), University of North Carolina Press (all books), Temple University Press (all books), and Vanderbilt University Press (selected books). Additional participants will continually be added and update in the list of publishers offering free access to content.

Content that is freely available on the Project MUSE platform during the COVID-19 crisis will display a distinctive "Free" icon, different from the "OA" icon used for fully open access content on MUSE, or the familiar green checkmark that users associate with content held by their library. MUSE search results, by default, include any content to which a user has access, so will offer the researcher any relevant free, OA, or entitled articles and books. There are over 2000 open access books and a small number of fully OA journals on the MUSE platform.

For the duration of this crisis, all Ohio State University Press monographs, and the linguistics textbook language files, will be open and free to use through the Ohio State University Libraries’ Institutional Repository, The Knowledge Bank.

Not-for-profit Platforms

HathiTrust has temporarily opened up copyrighted material in their digital library to member institutions with copies of those items in their physical collections. HathiTrust’s online collection contains more than half of the UVA Library’s book collection. To take advantage of this resource, follow these instruction. Note that you are not able to download the book in any way; you may only read it online in an active session while using HathiTrust. This is to protect the author’s rights. You will have 60 minutes of access to the book during any session. If you remain active in the book during any session, access time will be extended.
