Why would university faculty choose to place their scholarship on electronic archives for a world-wide audience? Many US universities have adopted such mandates for public access to faculty research, perhaps most notably Harvard [1], MIT, and the University of Kansas [2]. These policies (and many more like them in various stages of consideration on campuses across the nation and world) are harbingers of a new order, one in which essentially all scholarly articles can be found and accessed by any interested individual.

Such kind of policies really help guys like me who want to learn but just don't get opportunities to pursue what they want.
I am really thankful to stanford for its SEE program.
The robotics lectures are just gem for my kind of robotics enthusiasts.
