The rapid growth of digital technologies has significantly increased the demand for accessible scholarly information in engineering and management disciplines. However, subscription-based databases and costly academic publications often limit access to quality research materials, creating challenges for students and researchers. Open access resources have emerged as an effective solution to promote digital equity by providing free and unrestricted access to scholarly literature, technical reports, e-books, and educational materials. The present study adopts a descriptive research design based on secondary sources and basic web exploration to identify and review major open access resources relevant to engineering and management disciplines. The study categorizes resources into databases, open access journals, repositories, e-books, educational platforms, and research report sources. These resources support teaching, learning, literature review, and research activities without financial barriers. The findings highlight that open access platforms enhance academic productivity, support innovation, and promote inclusive access to knowledge. The study also discusses benefits, challenges, and the role of libraries in promoting effective utilization of open access resources. The categorized listing provided in this study serves as a useful guide for identifying reliable open access platforms. The study concludes that open access resources play a crucial role in empowering academic development and strengthening digital equity in engineering and management education.
