This is an amazing resource for students in e.g. rural Africa. They do not have access to physical libraries like you would.



> like you would

Like many would. Do not take libraries for granted - not even in "rich" countries.


Indeed, and even if you do have access to a library, due to logistics / volume, they only represent a fraction of the available knowledge worldwide.

If they offer internet access though, AND if projects like these are still around, the access to information is infinite.
