SW: The most powerful (FREE) personal Electronic Library Tool.




Calibre E-book Library system is the most powerful free Information access tool you can have on your PC or memory stick.

My personal one has over 30,000 files (233 gb) in it, that I can Sort in virtual libraries and then search within those libraries also. I can convert books from one format to another. Edit book's meta-data, add comments and searchable tags and Five Start rate the items. Nowadays I save most web pages by printing to PDF (printer) and add them to my library.

I recommend using the Portable version of the software as it runs from any directory or storage device, like USB memory sticks and removable Hard Drives.

While any iteration of the software can be pointed to different Calibre Library locations.

Where I want a single Subject Library and use Calibre to create a massive sortable sort of Book of Books for study, I put a new copy of the portable version in the base directory of that project. often with other tools like Photo management software, Directory Tree to Text file listing software, etc.

YGGDRASIL'S LIBRARY from December 2007 (Note this is not mine).

The Contents:
>>This page is dedicated to electronically-accessible books that form the core literature of Western Civilization. Many of Yggdrasil's students wonder what it means to be 'white' - or European. Many are unaware of their own cultural heritage that stretches back over 4,000 years. I present to the sons and daughters of Magna Europa this collection as a tribute to that heritage.All texts stored on this site are in the public domain unless explicitly noted and may be distributed freely. We recommend this resource for leisure reading, home schooling, or quick quotations for a college term paper.

B: VIKING SOCIETY WEB PUBLICATIONS

The Viking Society for Northern Research is making virtually all its publications (and some other related items) from inception in 1893 to the present freely available on this website, though recent titles may not be released until three years from the date of publication.
            These digital versions are not intended to replace our printed publications, and titles currently in print will remain available to buy in book form as long as there is a demand for them (the list can be seen at www.vsnr.org/publications). The digital versions are intended to make the range of our publications known to a wider public, and may be used for reference purposes, to evaluate books for purchase or for university courses and for private study. The copyright belongs either to the authors or to the Viking Society, as stated at the beginning of each work, and permission must be obtained from the Society to use downloaded versions either in whole or in part for any other purpose.
Click on the titles to see the entire text in pdf. To download you will need Acrobat Reader, which is available to download free from www.adobe.com. Some publications are very large and may take several minutes to download. Titles which do not at present have a link will be added in due course. Parts of some publications, such as images, may have had to be deleted for reasons of copyright.
