Identifying Open Access Books & Journals

The Directory of Open Access Journals is a nonprofit website that lists free, full text, quality controlled scientific and scholarly journals, covering all subjects and many languages.  There are over 20,000 titles in the directory.

The Directory of Open Access Books is a service of OAPEN Foundation (Open Access publishing in European Networks). The OAPEN Foundation is an international initiative dedicated to Open Access monograph publishing, based at the National Library in The Hague.  The DOAB contains 1217 peer-reviewed books from 33 publishers.

Ulrichsweb (requires a UST login) is a database of over 300,000 journals, popular magazines, newspapers, and other periodicals.  It is a great place for finding out basic information about a publication you are unfamiliar with.  NOTE: unlike the above tools, this list includes both OA and non-OA titles.
