The costs of textbooks and scholarly journals continue to rise,
so it is nice to find websites like Sciyo; Sciyo is valuable to cash-strapped science learners.
Sciyo is a free service that allows scientists to publish their works and connect with other authors.
Works published on Sciyo are made available for free to visitors.
Visitors can download works as PDFs.
There are currently 211 free books on Sciyo.
Note: In the future videos will also be available on Sciyo.

I'm an eLearning Adviser specializing in stimulating and supporting innovation in learning via eBooks, eMagazines, blogs (including audio versions), online TV, interactive resources, forums, workshops, conferences and face2face consultations. Evaluating and becoming familiar with sustainable and new technologies allows me to respond to the needs of learning providers from a position of experience rather than 'hearsay'. Supported learning providers, in the northwest of England (UK), can contact me for FREE consultations. Based at Lancaster University I work for the JISC Regional Support Centre - Northwest.
