True, Oxford University Press is a publisher and most of its content is available on a for-purchase basis. However, its Academic Insights blog has a lot on offer - free of charge. For example, see the Series and Columns section for short pieces like "The economics of Scottish Independence" by Richard S. Grossman. Grossman is one of Oxford's authors who writes a series on economic policy. Other current pieces include "Reading on-screen versus on paper" by Naomi Baron, the author of Words Onscreen: The Fate of Reading in a Digital World. While there are prominent links to buy the most recent books by these authors, some reading related pieces, such as "A lifetime in the library," contains no links to books to buy. This particular piece was written by Rachel Brook, a Marketing Assistant at Oxford University Press, in celebration of UK National Libraries Day (February 7th).
