There is a critical need for a better means to bring research and education closer together. There are several difficulties that global science face. Science has expanded at a furious pace, with this our scientific focus has to narrow because of the outpouring of knowledge.  This greatly impacts the teaching of science as it is virtually impossible to stay on top of 2 topics let alone 30.  The knowledge supply chain from the lab to the classroom in many disciplines is broken with knowledge taking years to wend its way from data collection to the lecture hall. Developing countries fall further and further behind as the price of the journals have skyrocketed and access becomes limited.  Scientists have always wanted to share their knowledge, now we have the chance.  The Library of Alexandria should be the center as it has been the pinnacle  of mans/woman’s knowledge.
