Go To Hellman: Open Access eBooks, Part 1

Go To Hellman: Open Access eBooks, Part 1: "Open Access eBooks, Part 1
I've been working on on a book chapter for a book edited by No Shelf Required's Sue Polanka. My chapter covers 'Open Access E-Books'. Over the next week or two, I'll be posting drafts for the chapter on the blog. Many readers know things that I don't about this area, and I would be grateful for their feedback and corrections. Today, I'll post the introduction, subsequent posts will include sections on Types of Open Access E-Books, Business Models for Open Access E-Books, and Open Access E-Books in Libraries. Note that while the blog always uses 'ebook' as one word, the book will use the hyphenated form, 'e-book'."
