My Digital Library

Introduction

Below are some collected works that I’ve cited in my bibliography, or am planning on reading and want in my easy possession. When I have digital works I can share I will include them on my site for easy access and reading. I would prefer to be able to provide all works in my bibliography here someplace for easy access, although many books I’ve read earlier cannot be provided this way. These are interesting works, freely shareable for your enjoyment.

There are many other works I can include from my reading history, which is very extensive. If you are interested in some books I’ve read, in hard copy format, see my Reading List.

I had a library of books in my possession at approximately 2,000 volumes in a range of disciplines.

This is a small start to a digital library, for digital works freely available for distribution. As I include additional items in my bibliography, I will analyse to see which works can be shared freely here. If allowed, I will provide copies for easy access. In this way too, my bibliography can reference a location that will guarantee access to the work cited. Whereas currently in academic life, finding resources for additional research may be very challenging and costly.
