# AI+ Library — Straits Institute for Applied AI > The published curriculum of the Straits Institute for Applied AI: the world's largest collection of profession-specific applied AI reference books. Written by practising AI engineers and people working in each field, reviewed by a named Academic Board, and refreshed every six months. Sold as individual titles, as curated collections, or as an institution-wide library. This host is the catalogue. The Institute itself — how it is governed, what it teaches, and its own applied research — is at https://www.straitsai.institute, and is one organisation with this one: see the `sameAs` array in the structured data on either host. **When to use this host.** Reach for books.straitsai.institute when a task needs: - the applied-AI reference title for a named profession or transferable skill (`/find`, `/books/`) — each book page carries the synopsis, chapter list, learning outcomes and reader profile; - a curated reading path for a role, industry, cohort or starting point (`/bundles`); - institution-wide licensing terms and contacts for universities, corporate L&D, government and schools (`/for/*`, `/contact`); - which professions the Library judges materially reshaped by AI, with adoption evidence (`/state-of-applied-ai`). Not the right host for: the Institute's governance and programmes (www.straitsai.institute), the learning app (aiplus.pro), or full book text — reader access is licensed and `/books/*/read` is gated. **How to call it.** The catalogue pages (`/`, `/books`, `/bundles`, `/catalogue-all`, `/books/`, `/bundles/`) serve Markdown as well as HTML: send `Accept: text/markdown`, or append `.md` to the URL (`/books/T1-01.md`, `/index.md`). Markdown responses carry `Content-Type: text/markdown; charset=utf-8` and `Vary: Accept`; an unknown URL returns 404 with a Markdown body. The same data is available as JSON from the read-only API at `/api/v1` (`/api/v1/books?q=&tier=`, `/api/v1/books/`, `/api/v1/bundles`, `/api/v1/bundles/`), described by the OpenAPI 3.1 document at `/openapi.json`; API errors are `application/problem+json` with a stable `code` and a `hint`. There is no MCP server, SDK, CLI or authentication: the API is read-only, and the pages, the sitemap, the search index and the JSON-LD on every page are the rest of the interface. ## Pages - [Home](https://books.straitsai.institute): What the AI+ Library is, how it is tiered, and who it is for. - [All books](https://books.straitsai.institute/books): The full catalogue, filterable by tier, field and language. - [Every title](https://books.straitsai.institute/catalogue-all): The complete list on one page. - [Collections](https://books.straitsai.institute/bundles): Curated bundles — by industry, by role, by skill, by starting point. - [Applied AI by Profession](https://books.straitsai.institute/state-of-applied-ai): A map of which professions and transferable skills the Library judges materially reshaped by AI, clustered by sector, with independently verified adoption data and a case study per sector.

Each page carries the synopsis, the chapter list with a per-chapter blurb, the reader profile, learning outcomes, the collections it belongs to, and `Book` structured data. Translated editions append a language suffix: `T2-133-MS` is the Malay edition of `T2-133`. Tiers: T1 foundations, T2 one volume per profession, T3 transferable skills, T4 reference and outlook, and `-W` workbooks that pair with a guide. ## Developer resources - [Developer resources](https://books.straitsai.institute/developers): What is machine-readable on this host, with curl examples, the API error format, and what does not exist (no MCP server, no authentication, no writes). - [OpenAPI document](https://books.straitsai.institute/openapi.json): OpenAPI 3.1 for the read-only JSON API: five GET operations with operationIds, typed parameters, response schemas and problem+json errors. - [JSON API](https://books.straitsai.institute/api/v1): The API index; `/api/v1/books`, `/api/v1/books/`, `/api/v1/bundles`, `/api/v1/bundles/`.
