Digital libraries have tremendous potential to enhance education and scholarship, while promoting international cooperation and collaboration. We demonstrate this first by considering a relatively mature effort, working to have all students world-wide submit electronic theses and dissertations for access through digital library technology (http://www.ndltd.org).

Second, we review work since 1988 toward supporting learning in computer science, now framed in terms of the Computer Science Teaching Center (http://ei.cs.vt.edu/~cstc/).

Finally, we invite Russian collaboration in these efforts, outlining how individuals, universities, and other institutions can participate.
