Donating service manuals to public libraries
 

Many public libraries have a limited variety and quantity of consumer
electronics schematics and service manuals so I suggest those techs or
repair shops that are no longer in need of their service literature
that instead of throwing them in the garbage and pollute the
environment take them to your local public library so that in the
future you have a place to go and access them if need be.

So if anyone is a member of repair discussion sites that are pay sites
(not free) if they could post this message there as well as:

First make sure they will actually keep them any longer than you
would, as my local library has a very bad reputation with me for
discarding books which do not have a high useage. They have to be
"realistic" or they have tons of space taken up. The state library
had a sale of books and I got a bonanza (from my point of view).

Locally the Central Library keeps extensive files of repair manuals.

I like to see a Gutenberg project where such priceless documentation
is scanned and archived electronically. How much space does one DVD
occupy?

Perhaps Google would like to archive them for the Google Library project?
