Ideas
WUaS is a fan of Free Public Libraries, in general ... and WUaS will aggregate all of those online libraries with significant resources, in ALL languages, here on this page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Library_Resources ... to participate not in only in the free, public library, historical fest, but also the free education fest (k-12 is free in the U.S.) ... as wiki, - with an invitation to edit this page :)
