Harvard supports open access to peer-reviewed faculty scholarship, and the participation of our open-access repository in Outernet is entirely consonant with our mission to enhance the distribution, visibility, and usage of Harvard research.

Outernet shares many of the same values as [Deutsche Welle], including the belief that access to knowledge and information is a human right.

I'm thrilled at the Outernet vision of free-to-air broadcast of eBooks and other content. I am enthusiastic about Outernet's effort to bring eBooks from Project Gutenberg and other great collections to a broader audience.
