Citing Our Books
Cite the DOI rather than the URL. Every book and every chapter has one, and it will continue to resolve wherever the book is hosted. A formatted citation is on each book's page.
Reusing Them
Under our default CC BY 4.0 licence you may redistribute, adapt, translate, mine and build on any of it, including commercially, with attribution. You do not need to ask us. Setting a chapter as course reading needs no licence and costs your students nothing.
Keeping Up
Announcements of new titles, by subject area, are available on request from queries@bassi.foundation.
Librarians: free MARC records and KBART files for the whole list, and our metadata arrives through DOAB and OAPEN if you already load open-access books from either.
