| The plan to create OCW, a website publishing
| virtually all MIT's course material, was announced
| in 2001. Today almost 2,000 courses, or 80 per cent
| of those offered by the university, are available
| online at no cost. The potential benefits to
| learners were immediately clear - but what was in
| it for the university?

Banned Books Week: Celebrating the Freedom to Read
,----[ Quote ]
| The books featured during Banned Books Week have
| been targets of attempted bannings. Fortunately,
| while some books were banned or restricted, in a
| majority of cases the books were not banned, all
| thanks to the efforts of librarians, teachers,
| booksellers, and members of the community to retain
| the books in the library collections.

| The European Commission will conduct a consultation on how best to operate a
| digital library of Europe's scanned-in books. Unlike Google's controversial
| digitisation programme, the EU's existing digital library does not scan in
| copyrighted works.
