USTC (Universal Short Title Catalogue) Maintained by the University of St. Andrews (Scotland). This is an attempt at cataloging all books published in Europe between the invention of printing and the end of the sixteenth century. This is essentially an open access bibliography. It does lead via Search function to digital copies in some cases but these are not all open-access. Some digital copies may be held in databases to which we have access however.
