My Open Access Reader is a compilation of excerpts that are open access and inform it as a subject. The excerpts are drawn from MIT Press books, republished with the open-source platform PubPub, a product of the MIT-spinoff Knowledge Futures. I approach the Open Access Reader as an ongoing experiment in computational and open access publishing. In subsequent editions, I want to increase the Reader’s quantity and quality: how much there is, and how good it is. I may add Collections for each book and each subject. These Collections may include ancillary OER with audio, video, and interactive features. I made an AI ChatBot, but I haven’t figured out how to make it open access. I made a Perusall-based “Book Club,” but I haven’t decided how exactly to use it with this Reader. And so on. But I’m getting ahead of myself... Currently, I consider the Open Access Reader to be a preprint: good enough to make public, but not “final final” because edits are expected. I encourage you to publicly or privately shape the Reader by, respectively, submitting an open review or emailing me.
