abstract = "The EBSCO eBooks Open Access Monograph Collection is an excellent open-access (OA) collection. Current EBSCOhost subscribers can request the addition of this collection to their existing EBSCOhost interface. The general public can also access these OA books on a separate
website. The collection, at the time of this review, is approaching 10,000 titles. About half of the collection is in English, and the other half is in German and 20 other languages. Most books in the English-language collection are new titles, dating from 2016 to present. There is a good
representation of topics in history, social science, and political science. In fact, there is an especially good selection of books related to timely topics such as women's studies, urban planning, climate change, and diversity/equity issues. The reading audience varies from general reader
to scholar. The interface search and retrieval of titles for EBSCOhost subscribers is identical to the traditional EBSCOhost interface. The public interface is more basic but allows users to filter their search and to search for keywords within the full text.",
