"Our Goals * Minimize legal, technical, and social barriers to the creation and reuse of OER. * Bring new communities and groups into the world of open learning. * Change the culture of education so that teachers have greater control over their pedagogy, greater freedom to experiment, and a larger community for support. * Empower participation and expertise in education from around the world."

"Science Commons designs strategies and tools for faster, more efficient Web-enabled scientific research - Primary Focus: o Making scientific research "re-useful" - We develop and promote policy and tools to help people and organizations open and mark their research and data sets for reuse. As part of this work, we released an "open data" protocol to enable the global scientific community to pool and use data created under different legal regimes. o Enabling "one-click" access to research tools - We offer a suite of standardized contracts to bring the efficiencies and economies of scale from e-commerce to the world of scientific tools, so researchers can easily replicate, verify, and extend research. o Integrating fragmented information sources - We help researchers find, analyze, and use data from disparate sources by marking and integrating the information with a common, computer-readable language."

"Imagine a world where anyone can instantly access all of the world's scholarly knowledge - as profound a change as the invention of the printing press. Technically, this is within reach. All that is needed is a little imagination, to reconsider the economics of scholarly communications from a poetic viewpoint."

"The March 31, 2010 issue of the Dramatic Growth of Open Access is now available. Highlights: DOAJ is now at 4,863 journals, having added a net total of 864 journals in the past year for a DOAJ growth rate of over 2 titles per day. The Bielefeld Academic Search Engine now searches over 23 million documents; this is an increase of over 1.2 million in the last quarter, or over 13,000 documents per day. There are now more than 200 open access mandate policies listed in ROARMAP, with strong growth in every category. Compliance with the U.S. National Institutes of Health Public Access Policy is 62% - still not 100%, but definitely getting closer. In the past year,120 more journals began contributing all content as open access to PubMedCentral. There are now more than 5,000 journals around the world using Open Journal Systems (OJS). "

"The oldest Koran translation The oldest Koran translation preserved dates from 1143. At the request of Peter the Venerable, abbot of Cluny, it was prepared in Toledo by the polyglot British scholar Robert of Ketton (Robertus Ketenensius, mistakenly referred to as Robertus Retenensis or Robert of Chester). He was assisted by a native Arabic speaker. Several manuscripts reflect the significance of this Latin translation for Western involvement with Islam. Exactly four centuries after the translation originated, it was prepared for publication by the Zurich theologian Theodor Bibliander. In 1543, after fierce debate and mediation on the part of Martin Luther, it was issued by the famous Basle publishing house of Johannes Oporinus. The huge demand for this work led to a second printing seven years later. "

"Zürich, Erster April 2010. Die ZB hat genug: Die Qualität der Wikipedia ist einfach ungenügend. Expertenwissen muss her. Die ZB hat sich daher entschieden, per 1.4.2010 jede Wikipedia-Beratung einzustellen und auch keine Artikel mehr in die Wikipedia zu stellen. Die werden sowieso nur vandalisiert! Die Seiten der Wikipedia werden an den Computern der ZB zwar nicht gesperrt, aber mit einer roten Leuchtschriftwarnung versehen ("Betreten auf eigene Gefahr")."
