Introduction · Open Access Reader v2

There's a new edition (v2) of the Open Access Reader (OAR). It's an evolving anthology of OA books curated from the MIT Press catalog and published via the open-source PubPub platform. OAR v2 transitions from reproducing book excerpts in HTML to embedding full-book PDFs, a change driven by considerations of production efficiency and legal clarity. Each featured book is accompanied by a podcast-style audio overview (made with genAI, specifically Google NotebookLM) and transcript, further enhancing accessibility and educational value. OAR v2 also expands its coverage with three new titles.
