Computer and technology books age fast — most thrift channels reject them. NMLP accepts at any age but routes carefully:
- Recent programming books (last 3-5 years) — O'Reilly, No Starch, Manning, Pragmatic Bookshelf editions. Real online resale demand and student demand at UNM, CNM, and the NM tech community.
- Recent system administration and DevOps — Linux references, AWS guides, Kubernetes, recent SRE titles. Online resale demand.
- Database and SQL references — recent editions of major databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle) have steady reader demand.
- Web development — recent JavaScript, React, modern frontend titles. Strong demand among self-taught developers and bootcamp students.
- Older programming books (5+ years) — routes mostly to recycling because tech changed. Exceptions: classic CS texts (SICP, Knuth, Cormen Algorithms) hold value indefinitely.
- Microsoft/Apple/Google certification study guides — current cycle only; older editions get recycled.
- Sandia / Kirtland / LANL technical references — see the Sandia/Kirtland/LANL pillar.
