Here is a link to an on-line library of useful books.

Does anyone else have a link to another useful library that they use?

G'day Mike, Everyone :)

Thanks!

This one is very new, and while it is not a 'library', it is one that I will be keeping an eye on:

The links page provides a portal to some very interesting comments/articles.

Cheerio,

Mark.

Some great links - but I need a couple of lifetimes more to read all I want to read and do all I want to do!!

G'day All,

I stumbled across this one in my travels recently, and have found it to be a very user-friendly database:

AANRO - Australian Agriculture and Natural Resources Online

Cheerio,

This one is a list of "Open Access Journals". Including some that are relevent to our quest.

http://www.doaj.org/

Despite this definition of "open":


"We define open access journals as journals that use a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access."

I did find some journals that charged for access.

And if you really want to get it from the horse's mouth

http://darwin-online.org.uk/

The Complete Works of Charles Darwin online.

You know, Darwin, the worm guy.

I haven't looked any any of these, and I imagine a lot of them will be green revolution stuff, but since they go way back there will be some gems.

Ripper Mike - thanks for sharing.

Another one. This time on bio-fuels.

Whatever are we going to do for reading material when we no longer have the Internet?

[pebble]

I've been wondering about that - specifically about getting important information printed out with waterproof inks (my printer's inks are easily smudged if wet).

We might not have time to read.

A library, not of books, but of a useful magazine. All of the Energy Self Sufficiency Newsletter issues (no longer in distribution)

Terrific Mike - thankyou very much...I'm sure that will be handy for lots of people over time.

It has been a while since I have found a good collection of free books that might interest forum members. But here is another one:

I have just revisited this library. It has grown quite some.
