Purpose

Books in our collection should be:

Technical – The books must be nonfiction and provide in-depth information on a particular subject
- Good: Transformers and Motors
- Bad: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Useful – The books must pertain to something people in the space are doing or are interested in.
- Good: Hand-Manipulated Stitches for Machine Knitters
- Bad: German to French dictionary
Current – The books must provide information that is still at least mostly true.
In Good Condition

Donations

Please don't bring books to the space unless they are on our Library Wishlist or they are a more recent edition of a book already on our shelves. If you have a book that you think may be useful that does not fall into these categories, please post on the mailing list.

Put the book in the green basket by the shelves for the librarian to add. If the basket is not there, set them next to the shelves.

(It's not that we don't want awesome books: we just want to avoid being buried in them!)

-Add the book to Library Thing. Username: Pumpingstationone Password: ps1frocks After adding, create a tag for the book. The tags are library of congress classification. (See http://lib.colostate.edu/howto/others/findbklc.html ) They are left-aligned 14pt Times New Roman. They are taped on with packing tape (But if anyone wants to donate archival quality paper and tape, that would be great).
-==Removing from the Collection==
-If adding an updated version of the book, just tag it and put the old book in the plastic basket next to the shelves. If you think a book sucks, rate it on LibraryThing with a brief review. Then move the book to the Removed collection on the site. Attach a piece of paper to the book that says Removed and a date 2 weeks from the date moved. Put the book in the plastic basket.
