The DCLUG library started after a visit from the publisher Tim O'Reilly to our 100th (or 10 year) meeting in the fall of 2002. All authors and publishers are welcome, given library (i.e. personal) space constraints...
Some DCLUG library history here

Checkout Policy

Books are being lent out to regular DCLUG attendees who are on the email list at scheduled DCLUG meetings by prior arrangement with the librarian. Usually this involves requesting the book from the librarian by the night before a DCLUG meeting. This allows time to pack materials and travel to the meeting area. For more info, join the DCLUG email list and/or contact the webmaster gkwms at tux.org who is also the librarian.

Library To Do:

Caveats and Improvements (i.e. TODOs):  As with many web pages, this is a work in progress. Some publishers' links are broken and many of the smaller contributions publishers are not yet added. Standardizing the data field information about each book, improving formatting and linking to individual book information on the web, more detailed, normalized and more useful information including review space on each book are some of the items planned. Automating some the the process of keeping status of each book with Perl programming and/or other technologies like Koha are being researched. Check back soon for improvements.

Lapses in Library Development

Librarian / webnewbie fell into a black hole of work like activities for months, letting this volunteer activity go to the back burner... For example, a box of books donated were biked back from Reston with a bike trailer along the W & OD trail, then played with, entered (somewhere) and responsibility dropped somewhere, months later, not sure where... Missed putting them up by the next month, then another, and another, now maybe 6-7 4 ? later standing up to admit it publicly... Bad librarian, bad webnewbie... Wonder if I can fine myself? That will be a working AJAX javascript library book app and pushing lightning talks on other unsuspecting people for the public good... Back to school we go...

As an aside, another donation took months to sneakernet/lug across the metro area so it could be to put up here due to a job change, but glad to see them. Must be a AVO thing too...

XML Version(s)

20060119 starting to create an XML version of this page data but have not converted the database links yet...
there are some problems with making the links clickable, browsing with type="text/xsl" stylesheets but css works ok for viewing. the color choice and formatting is known to be lousy...
some learning on this may help make a low graphics, high graphics, pdf, web phone, etc versions of the dclug site in the future...
see books.data.xml

Updated Database Listings

[2005-04-05 UPDATE: SEE http://dclug.tux.org/lib/20050318a.books.html for a NEWER PARTIAL listing. Many of the conference materials are added and now totalling 125 items in that database listing where the last was 50. Hoping to get the listing closer to done and add the main library page books to the database and add some searching or categorized "baked" lists. Also note many links to book descriptions were added to the main library page hopefully making it easier to browse from the listing to see if you would like to check out a book.]

First Database Listing

[2005-02-16 UPDATE 6 boxes of books donated by ethicalhomes.com!

SEE http://dclug.tux.org/lib/20050216a.books.html for a PARTIAL listing. About 2 boxes of conference materials (LISA 98- 2000 or so, SANS, ORA OSCON, Usenix, etc), 1 of Oracle, 1 of Novell, 2 of general interest programming, networking, graphics, design, etc... Many of the books have not been entered and some will be sorted. PLEASE DON'T RUSH THE LIBRARIAN, as they are known to be nasty at times ;-) ]

Disclaimer:

Listing library books here on the website does not mean endorsement by DCLUG. It only means that the librarian has received the book and is lending out to members for use and *possible* review. It is the hope of the librarian to further the Linux cause by building a library for members to sample books between meetings and help members become more knowledgeable about Linux through reading generally available literature.

As noted before, this page is a work in progress. Publishers links are being searched for and many of the smaller contributions publishers are not yet added. Check back soon for improvements.

The following places are in the Washington DC metro area with low cost or new books have been mentioned mostly favorably by LUG members:

http://Microcenter.com with bargain books section of previous editions at significant discounts.

http://Reiters.com with one of the local high tech collections especially for that new book and it's downtown within blocks of the DCLUG meeting place.

http://ReadMeDoc.com with discount books has unfortunately closed it's brick and mortar stores, but continues as a mail order business.
