The World Library of Science: An Incredible Educational Development
On January 14th, Ambassador and Mrs. Killion hosted a reception at their residence to announce the creation of the World Library of Science, a joint collaboration between UNESCO and Nature Publishing Group. The World Library of Science is an open and permanent online learning resource that will offer high quality educational materials in the life and physical sciences to secondary and university level students around the world. It is designed to address a critical global problem the world faces in the 21st Century – the lack of scientific literacy, especially in the developing world. In addition to articles drawn from Nature Publishing Group’s authoritative publications, The World Library of Science will contain over 2,500 learning modules specifically created for this project in life and physical science subjects such as biology, physics, chemistry, nutrition, environmental science, and much more. Each module will be fully customizable and accessible free-of-charge through a web and mobile-based platform.
