To an outsider it sounds as though you may be expending a lot of yourself on this when you are only trying to give the books away. An institution that wants them should come to you! Maybe they should come and collect or pay for uplift by a courier. Just some thoughts. Rather than do all the work necessary to catalogue them yourself could you lay them out and run a video camera across them - just the covers - so that people can see enough to make their own catalogues. If you put the video on Youtube maybe someone with Twitter and Facebook accounts could post about the books and include a link to the video. To avoid getting lots of individual enquiries you may need to be clear that the books are available only to institutions - and not give out your address until you had a taker. BTW, thanks for looking to preserve the books rather than just dumping them. James
