According to Chuck Jones, the Oriental Institute, the publisher of the Chicago Assyrian Dictionary and the Chicago Hittite Dictionary among other works, will offer their publications in pdf format free of charge. Currently only a few of the latest publications are available but eventually all are scheduled for open access. Here is the link to the electronic publications catalog.

You don’t actually have to pin this on me, the OI page speaks for itself, but in case you and your readers are interested the next set of stuff to asppear onlione (in addition to new material as it appears of which A/ugusta McMahon’s Nippur V is next) will be the following:
Group 1: OIP 8 (Medinet Habu 1), OIP 42 (Megiddo 1), OIP 63 (Pottery
from the Diyala), OIP 102 (Tomb of Kheruef), CAD L (these are ready
to put up)
Group 2: Forty-seven Mesopotamian titles
Group 3: All the Persepolis volumes

This is truly revolutionary. Well-done the Oriental Institute! This can only be good news. After all, most disciplines in this are suffer chronic underfunding and lack of resource or public interest. Yet these are areas for which a wide constituency could and should exist. This can only do good.
