• Books and Strategies to Help Compensate for Education Gaps

  A friend of mine confided in me about her homeschool experience. At 28 she's going to community college to pursue a degree, and was petrified of all the education gaps she knew she had, but even more so about the ones she didn't know she had. We sat down and started going over the things she was aware of, and I was able to help compile what we started calling 'foundation' books- ways to cover a lot of ground... Source: 9 months ago

• Need Advice. Nervous about making the wrong decision, 40 and going back to school confused over costs.

  Other comments have covered other aspects, but I used dealoz.com to get most of my books when I went to college. It's an aggregator that searches for books everywhere by ISBN plus shipping costs and seller coupons. You could sort by cheapest, transaction type (buy/rent/ebooks), new/used, etc. I just made sure to pick reputable sellers. Some the sellers host 3rd party sellers as well (like Ebay), so make sure to... Source: over 1 year ago

• NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month

  Right now I'm in the middle of the chicken and the egg problem where we don't have enough authors cataloging their publications and b/c of that obviously readers are not interested in using the site. I've gone back and forth with taking Open Libray's [0] catalog as that would at least flesh out our collection of books but then I'd have to deal with verifying authors to accounts so they can access their books.... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• YSK: You can access many old and out of print hiking books from the Internet Archive's Open Library

  The Internet Archive runs what they call the Open Library, which is a unique concept on the traditional library. You can sign-up with minimal details and digitally check out many scanned books from libraries all over the world. The only caveat is that almost all of the books are older editions - ones that would be impossible to find locally. It's great if you're looking for old routes, a look back in time, details...

• Searching for a pharmacy book

  I want to clarify that I'm a non-US citizen, so accessing physical copies from US libraries or buying it from Amazon might not be feasible for me. To give you some context, my personal research was guided by the wiki section of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH (https://www.reddit.com/r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH/wiki/reading/). I've conducted research using various online resources, including the Ebook & Open Source/Access Libraries... Source: 7 months ago
