Someone on a Quaker list was searching for the book "The failure of the Quaker experiments (1900-1940) in corporate social responsibility," about which I responded: ... Here's World University and School's Quaker, wiki (editable), subject page: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Quakers_-_Religious_Society_of_Friends. You'll find here the Earlham (College) School of Religion's Digital Quaker Collection's library catalog - http://esr.earlham.edu/dqc/links.html. I searched once here but didn't see this book - but there's a form where you can ask. I'll soon add links to Swarthmore's and Haverford's to this WUaS Quaker wiki, but WUaS's Quaker pages can't be of more help at this time. (The Digital Public Library of America should be online in April 2013 and may offer access to it, although I haven't heard of any Quaker collections participating in this yet. And here's WUaS's Library Resources' wiki subject page - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Library_Resources - for free, online resources, potentially in all languages and countries, where you'll also find DPLA resources). Please add further information to this WUaS page if you find some. I'm interested in the contents of this book for WUaS itself, because WUaS is significantly Quaker-informed as an university organization, is like Wikipedia with MIT OCW, with plans for free bachelor, Ph.D., law, and M.D. degrees, as well as plans to be in all 7,413 languages and <205 countries, and I'm curious what WUaS might learn from these corporate, Quaker failures. (The WUAS, 2nd, annual, open, business meeting is this morning, and in the manner of Quaker business meeting). With friendly greetings, Scott (http://scottmacleod.com)
