Dear Colleagues, It is indeed my pleasure to introduce to you the Globethics.net Library, launched on 9 October 2008 in a press conference in Geneva. The Library is an endeavour by Globethics.net to bring together open-access and toll-access literature in ethics in a single digital library for the use of associated community (Globethics.net Network). While we are still improving content, technology and resource discovery of the website, we want to invite you to join us and help us in improving this service by giving your insightful feedback. Also, I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge on various aspects and questions in development of the Library, with particular reference to OAI-PMH integration, metadata quality, among others. Below are some representative links of the consultations done in your forum during this time period.
