found some free engineering literature in Croatia

I happened to be looking at various sites looking for free (decent) fiction and non-fiction, and I don't exactly remember where I found it but these people have a lot of free research/best practices (IMO) literature-and they seem to have the old time philosophy of free access. I quote, " Open Access is a way to publish scholarly information and make it available online to anyone in the world, at absolutely no cost to the reader."



"By making information freely available in this way, Open Access accelerates research and learning.



By reducing the barriers that restrict access to knowledge, Open Access maximises the opportunity for publications to be read and for authors to be recognised for their contribution in their chosen field and beyond.



Open Access removes permission barriers: unrestricted use of all published material is made possible thanks to flexible intellectual property regulations for authors.



Open Access gives authors much greater worldwide exposure"

I hope that this is useful to people here (and elsewhere)
