 Dear Sylvie, Alan and AoIR (sorry for the curious code at the top of
this email - not sure why this occurs),
 In response to this thread, here's the WUaS Library Resources' wiki
subject page at World University and School (WUaS) -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Library_Resources [1] . WUaS is
like Wikipedia with MIT OCW. WUaS plans to facilitate linking all
online libraries, especially academic ones, with significant web
content (eventually in ALL languages). This may eventually articulate,
for example, with the Digital Public Library of America
(http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/newsroom/digital_public_library) [2]
project, which friends at Harvard and elsewhere are focusing on
developing. This doesn't provide access to copyrighted books at
present, but the future of this is unclear. With skillful planning,
collaboration, and all of us working together, an online, free,
university library will emerge here, in the aggregate. 
 World University and School focuses on great universities' open
course ware for its academic content, listed here:
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Courses#University_course_listings,
[3] for example. And the WUaS Subjects' page facilitates open,
people-to-people teaching and learning, for example, here -
http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Subjects [4] - all the while
developing an academic standard based on MIT OCW, Berkeley Webcast,
Yale OYC, etc., eventually for free online degrees.  See the FREE
Harvard doctoral degree in education on the WUaS Courses' page, for
example. 
 World University and School as wiki hopes to open up university
discourse, for all. Here's a Facebook group if you're interested in
more information - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=48753608141
[5] - and wish to collaborate.
 Best, 
 Scott

  Or even make papers available for free; some of the cosmologists I
read 
 (an area I'm interested in) make their work, even their technical
work 
 that's been peer-reviewed, available on their websites. And of
course with 
 things like ITunesU and the initiatives from MIT, Stanford,
