2009 Edition (4th)

The 4th Edition of the PLL DVD

The 4th edition of the Portable Library of Liberty DVD (data not video) was released in Janaury 2009. The 3rd editon was released in June 2006 with about 750 items and was very much a product of the original design of the OLL website. With the complete redesign of the OLL website in July 2007 we were able to completely redesign the process for creating the PDF version of the files which make up the PLL. The end result is a much nicer frontpage for the PLL DVD, an on-disk search engine to help find authors and titles, and greatly expanded content with 924 volumes drawn from the main OLL website. New and updated versions of the PLL DVD can now be created a the touch of a button, so we hope to have more regular updates available for distribution from now on.
