Nonprofit Academic Permission Request ::wpmc::10-17533

Dear PHP.net Representative: The WiderNet Project seeks your permission to distribute "PHP Manual", published at http://www.php.net/download-docs.php, to people lacking Internet access via the eGranary Digital Library. Please let us tell you about the WiderNet Project and the eGranary Digital Library. The WiderNet Project is non-profit service program in the School of Library and Information Science at the University of Iowa that promotes low-cost information and communication for underserved populations. You can find more information about the WiderNet Project at... http://www.widernet.org The eGranary Digital Library, also known as "The Internet in a Box", is an off-line information store that delivers over 14 million educational resources to people living in underserved areas of the world. Many of our subscriber institutions have no Internet access. Even those who have an Internet connection experience slow, unreliable and very expensive service. Often, teachers, students, and practitioners must pay per minute while online and it literally takes days to search a website. The eGranary Digital Library delivers digital information directly to Web servers inside the institution, bypassing the problem. With the eGranary Digital Library, thousands of people can access the information over their local area networks quickly and at no cost. The eGranary is already installed at over 450 universities, schools, health care centers, and libraries worldwide. You can find more information about the eGranary Digital Library, including a list of over 1,000 authors and organizations who have already donated materials, at... http://www.widernet.org/egranary If you consent, your materials will appear in the eGranary Digital Library without modification, retaining all citations, copyright information, author information, and credits - exactly as they appear on the Internet now. Specifically, we would like permission to: -- Mirror (copy) the following materials for future versions of the eGranary Digital Library: http://www.php.net/download-docs.php -- Distribute the content you donate to participating educational institutions via off-line storage devices. -- Allow project participants to make your materials available to their community via their local intranets (but not on the Internet). -- Create an archive copy of your material on our password-protected intranet server for use in the event that your publicly-available link ceases to function. Please reply directly to this email, and tell us if you give: FULL PERMISSION (Donate requested materials and updates as they become available). PARTIAL PERMISSION (Donate only materials that you specify). NO PERMISSION (Prefer not to participate at this time). We hope that you will join our efforts to provide poor people around the world with access to educational information and resources. Sincerely, Macy McMakin ---------------------- ____________________________________________________ Macy McMakin Digital Librarian WiderNet Project mmcmakin@widernet.org www.widernet.org ________________________________________________________________________ ____ ::wpmc::10-17533
