Virtual Worlds: Learning and Teaching in a Digital Age

The alert came from Boing Boing via Cory Doctorow:

The Internet Archive has launched a demo of the Open Library, a project that seeks to gather all the information about all the world’s books and make it publicly available as a giant books wiki.
While many books are making their way online for free access, most still are restricted or cost money to touch. The Open Library combines links to open resources with information on in-copyright works and enables you and me to review, annotate, correct and convene.

Go and take a look at the article and the Demo of the Open Library. This is an utterly fascinating project, especially for education.
