RE: [lace] finding books etc in the Archives

[Noelene Lafferty]

Thanks for that Tess.   Wouldn't it be nice if there were more lovely people
like Alex in this world.  So many lace books are out of print but still in
copyright.

I'm in the same boat as Clay - I had slow dialup when the discs first came
out, but them all one at a time, and have now loaded them on to my external
(backup) hard drive, where they can be accessed with a few keystrokes.

[lace] finding books etc in the Archives

[tess parrish]

Sorry some people have had trouble finding things easily and quickly  
in the Archives.  I must admit that I too have to scratch my head  
occasionally when I am looking for something. However, by now I think  
that Avital and Alex, plus others, have covered the problem quite  
well, certainly where it concerns Alex's teneriffe book.

http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/books.html#S is pretty  
direct, although it means searching by author.

If the book is recently posted, go to This Month, or earlier months.

If you are looking for lace, go to 


Or Languages, if you are looking for something in another language.

Or Topics, if you are specifically looking for some technique.  Be  
warned, though, that this list is not foolproof.

And yes, sometimes it takes a long time even with a high speed  
connection to complete a download.  Be patient--there's a lot of stuff  
in these books.  I have often thought there was a problem, only to  
find out that I hadn't given it enough time to do its thing.

A note about the CDs.  They are really are the best if you have a slow  
connection to the internet.  You can go to < 
http://www.handweaving.net/Store.aspx 
  > and buy them there. You can search the contents of each CD by  
clicking on the title of the CD: the contents are listed there.  A  
good point was raised about the CDs:  on this site they are always  
available. However, we are not publishing any more CDs after Number  
8.  It takes a long time to collect enough books to fill one CD, and  
the out of copyright sources have been drying up.  So from now on,  
what we scan will go directly to the Archives site and be saved there,  
but not on a CD.

Again, let me thank Alex for donating the Teneriffe book to the  
Archives.  It is impossible for us to use new books because of the  
copyright restrictions, and it is only through the generosity of  
authors like her who give us written pemission to use their books that  
we can read them on the site.  I know that we are all very grateful  
for this.
