Mapping Open Access Publications by Public Management Subject
Where to find articles and textbooks without charge online
A simple Google search of a publication title or an excerpt sometimes locates pdf versions of articles or textbooks that do not respect copyright. On the other hand, there are multiple services that provide open access to published material in pdf and other digital formats that do comply with intellectual property law. These include websites provided by governments (e.g., Government of Canada Open Information), international organizations (e.g., OECD iLibrary), think tanks (e.g., Brookings Research), universities, publishers, authors, and nonprofit entities (e.g., Internet Archive) that make available pdfs of whole books (e.g., Machiavelli, Niccolò, The Prince, 1913 edition). The table below organizes sources by subject.
