What are the best web sites for international networks of public libraries, worldwide? Let's add them to worlduniversity.wikia.com


found and added The Internet Public Library to worlduniversity.wikia.com see Library Resources - rich resource. WUaS is growing & has a lot! of resources ... worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Library_Resources#Academic_Archive_or_Library


**

Let's invite public libraries around the world to list worlduniversity.wikia.com as access to great universities' FREE Open Courses, Library Resources, Educational Freeware, and invite these publics to collaborate on the development of World University & School.

... couldn't obtain "The Phantom Factor: Impact of the Cold War on Anthropology" by Laura Nader (Current Anthropology, Vol. 40, No. 1 (Feb., 1999),

at the Berkeley PUBLIC library, even,

- no JSTOR academic journals' database access -

Does this reflect an information lock down, in the land of free speech?

Societal information lock down? let's make jstor available here at the open, free worldunversity.wikia.com through a great university

Let's get public libraries to list World University & School as first choice for access great universities' courses, library resources et al


****

Innovation in worlduniversity.wikia.com , like Wikipdedia, will occur through group collaboration - sharing ideas openly - eg WAVE


= plans to use Google WAVE translation between all 3000- 8000 languages over time, if possible


*****

worlduniversity.wikia.com LIBRARY RESOURCES has open source textbook section with around 10 textbooks - Looking for world class textbooks ... in all languages and for all nation states - please add links

Hawaiian-ish music ~ "Friends of Old Puppy" ~ {youtube.com/watch?v=CZPb7SabHDI} at Nabolom's bakery collective in Berkeley this morning - it's a 10-1 happening - I like their chocolatines, esp. & fair trade coffee
