The Web Book of Regional Science is offered as a service to the regional research community in an effort to make a wide range of reference and instructional materials freely available online. Roughly three dozen books and monographs have been published as Web Books of Regional Science. These texts covering diverse subjects such as regional networks, land use, migration, and regional specialization, include descriptions of many of the basic concepts, analytical tools, and policy issues important to regional science. The Web Book was launched in 1999 by Scott Loveridge, who was then the director of the Regional Research Institute at West Virginia University. The director of the Institute, currently Randall Jackson, serves as the Series editor.

区域科学网络图书是为区域研究界提供的一项服务，旨在使广泛的参考资料和教学材料在网上免费获得。大约有三十本书和专著被作为区域科学的网络书籍出版。这些案文涵盖了区域网络、土地利用、移徙和区域专门化等不同主题，其中包括对许多基本概念、分析工具和对区域科学重要的政策问题的说明。该网络书是由斯科特·洛弗里奇于1999年推出的，当时他是西弗吉尼亚大学区域研究所所长。该研究所所长，现任兰德尔·杰克逊，担任系列编辑。
