World Bank embraces 'open access' & 'open data'

Another major organization embraces 'open access'.  "The World Bank is adopting an open-access policy featuring an Open Knowledge Repository and using Creative Commons licenses, the bank announced today." The policy takes full effect July 1 and will be implemented in stages, beginning with the repository. Unveiled today, it’s “a one-stop-shop for most of the bank’s research outputs and knowledge products, providing free and unrestricted access to students, libraries, government officials and anyone interested in the bank’s knowledge,” the bank said in the announcement.
