I recently came across this resource in the last few weeks while looking for OER for a
faculty member teaching Global Supply Chain Management and International Trade Finance. I
was very impressed with it because it has a really good searching capabilities.

Subject: [Bcoel] World Bank: Open Knowledge Repository
Hi Everyone,
Amanda and I attended the Creative Commons Global Summit last week in Toronto. During this
event, I had the opportunity to listen to a speaker from the World Bank talk about their
open access policy and Open Knowledge Repository (
https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/)
which houses over 23,000 books, journal articles, working papers, and other resources on
economic development around the world. I asked the speaker if she was aware of any
post-secondary institutions using this collection; she didn't know.
Are any of you aware of or using these resources?
Regards,
Lauri
