Open Access Textbooks
Open Access Textbooks
DefinitionsWikipediaAn open textbook is an openly-licensed textbook offered online by its author(s). The open license sets open textbooks apart from traditional textbooks by allowing users to read online, download, or print the book at no additional cost.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_textbook
Open Access Textbooks
For a textbook to be considered open, it must be licensed in a way that grants a baseline set of rights to users that are less restrictive than its standard copyright. A license or list of permissions must be clearly stated by the author.
Open Access Textbooks
Generally, the minimum baseline rights allow users at least the following:•to use the textbook without compensating the author •to copy the textbook, with appropriate credit to the author •to distribute the textbook non-commercially•to shift the textbook into another format (such as digital or print)
Open Access Textbooks
Many authors also grant rights such as:
• to add, remove or alter content in the textbook, often on the condition that derivative works must have
the same license • to copy and distribute the textbook without giving credit to the author• to use the textbook commercially
