The e-Library

Quick translate this page

This component of the site is presently in the stage of being organized and completed. For now we provide links to the several main sets of materials that have thus far been uploaded under specific "rooms" or programs, most of these being both free and fully in the public domain. Work on this portion of the site will continue regularly.

  • EcoPlan private e-Library
    This new collection is just getting underway, and will in time offer a number of past Ecoplan reports that are now in the public domain.

  • The Commons
    This is the front door to our collection of documents that are available under EcoPlan's long standing public interest program, The Commons. It links to most of the other programs and sites as well.

  • @ccess Library
    The front door to the @ccess program and its growing collection. Also have a close look at the associated Media/Links section of this collection.

  • @CarShare Forum
    The most extensive of the current libraries in terms of coverage of the issue area to which it is addressed.

  • Rethinking Work: New Ways to Work in an Information Society
    This is a part of the library that is a bit scarecely furnished to now, but check back. In 2000 we plan to be doing and adding a lot more here.

If you have doubts or not yet thought about reading on a "computer", you may want to consider just one of many things that are going on and which may eventually sum to change our attitudes about what we access, where and how, by having a quick look on the latest status of the Microsoft Reader, that is due in early 2000. And of course if you wish to research your topic beyond whatever materials are to be found on any of our sites, a good place to turn is to our Search page right here.

About this Time (1730) in our Club meeting a proposition was made by me that since our Books were often referr'd to in our Disquisitions, it might be convenient to us to have them together where we met, that upon occasion they might be consulted; and thus by clubbing our Books into a common Library we should have each of us the Advantage of using the Books of all the other Members, which would be nearly as beneficial as if each owned the whole. - Benjamin Franklin

From the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, recounting the first (and not entirely successful) step toward creating what eventually became, in his own immortal words, "the Mother of all North American Subscription Libraries now so numerous".
