(description #1)

The Appropriate Technology Reference Library consists of 1050 books on 29 subject areas of small scale, do-it-yourself technology. Originally developed by Volunteers in Asia (VIA) it was transferred to Village Earth: The Consortium for Sustainable Village-Based Development in 1993.

The Library was developed to be a low-cost and portable source of appropriate technology information for aid and relief workers around the world. Since its inception, it has been used in dozens of countries around the world.

The Appropriate Technology Library contains the complete text and images from over 1,050 of the best
books on all areas of village-level and do-it-yourself technologies...over 150,000 pages--all on CD-ROM or
microfiche! In use in over 130 countries by Peace Corps Volunteers, development and relief organizations,
engineers, and missionaries, the Appropriate Technology library is the most comprehensive, compact, and
cost effective information resource in the world!
The AT Library gives you all the benefits of a comprehensive appropriate technology library in the space it
takes to store a shoebox. The AT Library gives you the knowledge to solve real-world problems such as;
harvesting clean drinking water, making tools, growing your own crops, building and maintaining an irrigation
system, preserving crops, reforesting a denuded watershed, starting a small fish hatchery, building a small-
scale hydropower scheme, building and maintaining pumps, treating human and animal waste, utilizing solar
energy, improving rural cookstove efficiency, constructing energy efficient structures, caring for the sick, non-
formal education, preparing for a natural disaster. -- too many uses to list here!
