Οι έγκυρες και αξιόπιστες πηγές αποτελούν αδήριτη και ζωτική ανάγκη στην Εκπαίδευση, την Επιστήμη, τη Ζωή. Η Παγκόσμια Ψηφιακή Βιβλιοθήκη ( WDL) αποτελεί ένα πολύτιμο εργαλείο διαπολιτισμικής ενσυναίσθησης, ειδικά τώρα που οι πολίτες κι οι λαοί περιχαρακώνονται ολοένα και περισσότερο.

The World Digital Library hosts nearly 5,000 primary documents and images from collections around the world. Sponsored by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, the mission of the World Digital Library is to promote the study and understanding of cultures. The WDL can be searched by date, era, country, continent, topic, and type of resource. In my search of the WDL I noticed that roughly half of the resources are historical maps and images. The WDL aims to be accessible to as many people as possible by providing search tools and content descriptions in seven languages. The WDL can also be searched by clicking through the map on the homepage.

Applications for EducationThe World Digital Library can be a great resource for anyone that teaches history and or cultural studies. The wealth of image based resources along with the document based resources makes the WDL appropriate for use with most age groups.
