So often requests for manuals and schematics in the newsgroups go unanswered; here is a request for readers to post any links or other references to public repositories of service and technical literature (such as public or private libraries, collections, archived websites, etc.) that are alternatives to costly and often poor quality commercial manual sellers.
We used to have libraries in our area that maintained large collections of electronic service literature, but downsizing has altered that option considerably.
Do you all have any local libraries that have large or useful collections of Riders, SAMS, or mfg. specific manuals (perhaps donated by ex-employees, etc.)? If so, posting this data will allow cooperating libraries to inquire about inter-library loans.
