[ATTW-L] Free access to the Ohio State University Press catalog during the COVID-19 crisis

[Buehl, Jonathan]

Dear colleagues,

I am just passing along the news that the Ohio State University Press is making all of its monographs available as free e-books through the end of the summer. The full press release is below, but here is the direct link to their online repository, where you can find the monographs as well as two linguistics textbooks (The Language Files and Basics of Language for Language Learners): https://kb.osu.edu/handle/1811/131. An Excel list of the titles is available at https://library.osu.edu/document-registry/docs/1086/stream.

Tara Cyphers, the acquisitions editor for Rhetoric, has been doing a remarkable job building the Rhetoric list: https://ohiostatepress.org/books/subjects/rhetoric.html. Although many university libraries are now closed, you and your students can still access this exciting and important work for free during the COVID-19 crisis.

I hope everyone stays safe and well in these uncertain times.

Best wishes,
Jonathan

The Ohio State University Press Opens Up Access to Monographs, Textbook, and Journals in COVID-19 Columbus, OH, March 18th, 2020:

In an effort to support instructors and students in a seamless transition to remote learning arrangements and support its mission to disseminate top-quality, globally relevant scholarship across the humanities and social sciences, The Ohio State University Press has opened up access to all scholarly monographs, its six scholarly journals, and its Language Files linguistics textbook, now in its twelfth edition and widely adopted across the world. The monographs and Language Files will be open and free to use through The Ohio State University Libraries' institutional repository, Knowledge Bank, at this link: https://kb.osu.edu/handle/1811/131.

Its journals Adoption & Culture and North American Journal of Celtic Studies are available on JSTOR (https://www.jstor.org/). Narrative, American Periodicals: A Journal of History and Criticism,  Inks: The Journal of the Comics Studies Society, and Victorians: A Journal of Culture and Literature are on Project MUSE(https://muse.jhu.edu). All materials will remain open through the end of the summer or until colleges and universities are able to resume normal operations. "The COVID-19 pandemic presents an unprecedented challenge to the global scholarly ecosystem and its institutions. This move is our way of easing the burden on students and instructors so that they can continue research and coursework as smoothly as possible, as well as to honor the work of our authors in making their research available when the world needs nuanced and rigorous scholarship the most," The Ohio State University Press Director Tony Sanfilippo said.

Founded in 1957, The Ohio State University Press publishes widely in the areas of literary studies, narrative studies, rhetoric and communication studies, cultural studies, comics and media studies, gender and sexuality studies, and race and ethnic studies.
