Knowledge, Learning, Community

I do sort of wonder why Nature would need support from UNESCO to do this (or why UNESCO would partner with them in what amounts to a pretty small-scale initiative), but there it is, the World Library of Science: "The library – WLoS – 'contains' more than 300 articles, 25 eBooks and some 70 videos, as well as a digital platform that "provides a community hub" for learning, according to UNESCO, which created the site jointly with the international Nature Education publishing group and the Swiss pharmaceutical company Roche." I can't help but notice the similarity in name with 'Public Library of Science', which this effort may appear to be attempting to undermine.
