Our Library has supported MIT Press’s Direct to Open (D2O) initiative through the collections budget since 2021, via CRKN. D2O is MIT’s initiative to release all its scholarly books freely and openly online each year. Today the Press has announced that it’s reached its 2025 funding goal, meaning that 80 new books will be published OA this year.
To learn more about this year’s D2O, and discover some new books coming in Spring 2025, read MIT Press’s announcement here.
To browse MIT Press ebooks, which includes their older books back to 1943, visit MIT Press Direct.
Although MIT Press Direct contains lots of STEM books, there’s also a separate collection of MIT Press Computing and Engineering ebooks, which we buy and which is available on IEEE.
