I’m afraid I don’t keep data on which books are in the public domain or otherwise deemed reusable (as opposed to those that are in copyright and online with permission, but without a license permitting reuse.)

Hi John,

Is there a way to sort the collection to be able to view only books that in the public domain and have no copyright issues that accompany their use or adaptation?

I think you're thinking of The Online Books Page, which is also linked above. We have various ways of browsing that collection, including alphabetically by author. (Not all the books listed are public domain-- some are copyrighted but have authorized free online editions-- but most are public domain.)

This site used to have a list of books in the public domain. I used to access the sute by clicking on “Archives”. But it seems to have disappeared. What happened to it? Is it buried somewhere else? The index was alphabet or author based and had about 250-500 entries per page. So good for browsing.

Hello, Nora. I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for, but there are a lot of online resources on digital libraries, the general topic you're referring to. I have a listing of some of the free online books and journals on this subject here. (This is part of a larger public digital library of free online books that I maintain.) While this q&a isn't really on-topic for this specific page, I'll keep this answer, and the comment to which it's replying, online here until I can craft a more detailed blog post, since the general issue of how to learn about and set up digital libraries in not-so-rich countries is certainly relevant to the scope of this blog.

I generally prefer not to get unsolicited phone calls unless they're urgent. (If you do have an urgent need to reach me by phone, you can do so via my employer.)
