I've (almost) accepted the fact that I need to downsize, and I'm faced with getting rid of >30 years of computing literature. I'm hoping someone might have some ideas or suggestions.
When I was in college (way too many years ago) I used to enjoy browsing the CompSci library and reading the journal articles. After I graduated I really missed that, so I started building my own library. I joined the ACM (and eventually IEEE) and subscribed to everything that interested me. I eventually decided it was too expensive, and stopped everything except the IEEE membership. By now I've accumulated a couple of rather large bookcases of journals, proceedings, etc. I'm going to have to put them in the recycle bin if I can't find a home for them. The stuff from the ACM goes back to 1978, and continued up until 1992 (not everything covers the entire period). It includes Communications of the ACM as well as conference proceedings and regular publications from SIGPlan Programming Languages SIGArch Computer Architecture SIGArt Artificial Intelligence SIGSmall Small Computers SIGMicro Microprocessors and Systems SIGGraphics Computer Graphics Journal of the ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems Transactions on Database Systems There's also a hefty collection of IEEE Spectrum and IEEE Computing magazines, the last few years of Creative Computing (David Ahl) before it went bust, and there may be a bunch of Byte Magazine issues from the 80's. It pains me to just throw this all away. Regards, john- _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
