Cal Madow mountains: Go virtually into this pretty Swiss library and pick a digital book from its shelf, from any time in history (with time slider), Hi, Mohammad, Do you live in Somalia? It's exciting to learn that you might seek to matriculate/become a degree-student this autumn at World University and School for free CC OpenCourseWare degrees - as if going to MIT online (but see the disclaimers here) - worlduniversityandschool.org, English language learning/speaking community online with Peter Bothe, Other Arabic speakers in this group too, PLEASE EMAIL your high school and college TRANSCRIPTS (in Arabic is ok)

Thank you for your fabulous, wonderful and truly exemplar talk yesterday at Stanford - https://library.stanford.edu/events/content-context-bavarian-state-library-digital-world-conversation-klaus-ceynowa . 

I asked about your and the Bavarian state library's guidelines for working with other Bundeslaendern, other countries and, for example, Europeana, because I greatly appreciated the organizational focus you are bringing to Bayern's libraries as a system. You are making real what other library systems might seek to do, but haven't successfully done yet as I see it. (However, you have a much broader overview in these regards than I do). I also appreciated your response concerning openness as a guideline for you. 

I also asked because CC World University and School, which is like CC Wikipedia (in 358 languages) with CC MIT OpenCourseWare (in its 7 languages) and CC Yale OYC would like to create both libraries (and museums) in all 7,943 entries in languages (per Glottolog) / and inall 7,097 living languages (per Ethnologue) - each a wiki subject page to begin. This would emerge from this beginning "Library Resources"' wiki subject page -  http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Library_Resources - into all 7097 languages, after WUaS moves to a new wiki, emerging from Wikidata, Wikpedia's database in 358 languages. Perhaps a good way for you to visualize this is here - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/11/lions-in-trees-all-libraries-all.html - where one could, in a realistic virtual earth, such as conceptually in Google Streetview with TIME SLIDER, go virtually into this pretty Swiss library and pick a digital book from its shelf, from any time in history (with time slider). From a structured data perspective - such as the one Wikidata (which is mostly based in Berlin and somewhat in San Francisco with the Wikimedia Foundation) is developing - each book in any library in any of the ~200 countries in the world at present could have something like a Q-item number (Wikidata's basic unit) or similar.

(World University and School would like our matriculating students in our developing online major CC MIT OCW-centric universities, in all ~200 countries' official languages - and studying for online free CC OpenCourseWare Bachelor, Ph.D., law and medicine degrees, as well as I.B. (International Baccalaureate) high school diplomas - to have access to greatest online university academic libraries, perhaps different from the public libraries, for example, in the U.S.) 

WUaS would also like to develop an WUaS Universal Translator, perhaps building on Google Neural Machine Translation/Google Translate, such that an anthropologist or linguist or librarian could go into any physical library in the world and hold their smartphone up to a document in any language and read it translated into their own language - and also photograph the document (observing copyright law, etc.). (You'll find the beginning WUaS Universal Translator link in my blog entry above). 

How might we further communicate and collaborate about much of this? Would the Bavarian State Library be available to orchestrate creating online libraries in all ~200 countries' official languages with their national libraries, which would develop out of the BSL's great organizational approach? Of course, this might include planning to develop online libraries in all 7097 living languages - where linguists and academics would, in a parallel way, develop the WUaS wiki schools for this, again in all 7,097 known living languages. (See, too, the ~12 main areas of focus for WUaS here - http://worlduniversityandschool.org - which will all become integrated in Wikidata/Wikibase and probably also with Google Education, which WUaS has).

Thank you for your inspiring and great talk, Klaus. It makes me want to return to Munich and visit your library, as well as my friends, Eckhard and Liesl Krueger (who no longer live in Garching, however) and their two sons, as well as other possible friends from the 13 months I spent in Munich in 1981-82 in the Reed College program, as well as at LMU.

It's exciting to learn that you might seek to matriculate/become a degree-student this autumn at World University and School for free CC OpenCourseWare degrees - as if going to MIT online (but see the disclaimers here) - worlduniversityandschool.org. Please look at the course catalog here - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VRHhXYsk-V9lvSh5onaU2hnEhwoapSN7HyBK1P09LIk/edit?usp=sharing

 - and at A) the Computer Science/Electrical Engineering undergraduate major, as well as B) the Engineering major and begin to think about what courses you might take this autumn.

I study Electrical Engineering, Bachelor Degree, Academy of Engineering Sciences

Can I get a university scholarship?
