What are Open Access Resources?

Open access resources are electronic journals, databases, and even some books that are freely available online for anyone to access, read, and download. This eliminates subscription fees and allows researchers to explore a wider range of information without budgetary constraints.

The library is pleased to offer a comprehensive list of carefully curated open access resources. These resources, meticulously evaluated by our expert library staff, provide researchers with a wealth of valuable information that complements traditional research materials.
