How will the Global Text Project select its titles and content?
The library will cover the range of topics typically encountered in a university’s undergraduate programs. The global academic community and global corporations will be engaged in creating and sponsoring this library. The first two textbooks will cover Business Fundamentals and Information Systems and will be written collectively by academics and practitioners. Other books on subjects such as Biology, Economics, Agriculture, Physics are in various stages of development. Global texts will incorporate knowledge and examples from a diversity of regions. They will be successful when there is a two-way flow of knowledge between the developed and developing world. A panel of scholars in and from developing countries will advise on required books and their content. Presently, the committee has members from developing countries with university appointments in South Africa, Colombia, Egypt, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Malaysia, Mexico, Mozambique, Indonesia, Uganda, United Kingdom, and China.
