As of July 30, the U of Ottawa Press made 36 of its title available free to the online community.
“The collection consists of both French-language and English-language in-print titles in the arts, humanities and social sciences.
The UOP is proud to take part in the University of Ottawa's open access program, which includes a commitment to make research easier to consult through its institutional repository, to provide funds to researchers aiming to publish their work in open access journals, and to award grants for research on the open access movement. Supporting open access also provides a unique opportunity for the UOP to reach audiences outside its traditional market while promoting scholarship and discovery.
Developed in collaboration with the University of Ottawa Library, the open access collection will be available in PDF format through the University of Ottawa's institutional repository, uO Research, which can be searched by title, author, date or keyword.
All of the UOP's open access books will continue to be sold in their print editions, and many will be available in ebook format for ease of reading on hand-held devices.
