Open Research Library (ORL)

Go to database

The open access platform was initiated by the service provider Knowledge Unlatched (Ku) together with BiblioLabs and is intended to bundle all available OA books under one search and hosting interface. In addition to monographs and anthologies, magazines, videos and posters are also included. Infrastructure partners are the library and distribution service providers Biblioboard, Ebsco Discovery Service, ProQuest and OCLC. In addition to Brill, Emerald and Springer, the publishers involved also include various university publishers such as Cornell, Duke and fedOAPress. The offer is expanded annually through financial support from libraries around the world. The content is to be hosted free of charge on the ORL platform and ongoing technical costs are to be covered by crowdfunding.
