Bookmooch is an online book exchange community whose members list what books they have and which books they want. When you send a book, you earn a point, to receive a book you spend a point. Some people have surplus points which they have generously donated to the Internet Archive to help us build our collection.
To start on our 4 million book quest we are buy sales lead looking at the most assigned books on course syllabi (as aggregated by the OpenSyllabus project). We gave this list to the founder of BookMooch, John Buckman and he found 61,000 were held by community members and hundreds available right now.
And there is much rejoicing! Onward!
This week’s highlight reel of TV News moments fact-checked by our partners at PolitiFact, FactCheck.org, and The Washington Post’s Fact Checker feature the presidential tweet during the congressional hearing about Russian influence on the election, what Germany does and doesn’t owe to NATO and the U.S., what a coal miner and single mom do and don’t pay in taxes, whether GOP amendments were included in Obamacare, and a breakdown of the statistics we’ve been hearing about the 9th Circuit.
