Thanks, Debra. I'm glad that you think it's worthwhile.
Can you (or anyone else) suggest how/if we (BCcampus) can/should incorporate this resource
into our collection or website?
Is there anything anyone would like me to ask the World Bank presenter when I email her
tomorrow?

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.

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/
| 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
