Hi all! I've been a lurker for awhile, so I figured I'd drop a note in since semester end is close and I have more time for languages!

I'm a student at Kansas State University and our library has a TON of FSI materials. Not just the courses, it has readers and a bunch of other stuff. I haven't looked at any but the turkish, so some stuff might be lost that is listed in the catalog, but I'd be glad to look if there is any interest. I'm not sure about access to any audio tapes, I'll need to ask about that. The library catalog is unfortunately really difficult to search sometimes, in my opinion, but if you go to https://catalog.lib.ksu.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&PAGE=sbSearch
Type in Foreign Service Institute, and search by the Author, a subject list will pop up. Click on the first link with 104 titles, and browse through there. Some aren't language things, but many are and there seems to be a lot of lesser known languages available.

Finals are next week, so I won't be able to do anything until after then. Classes start up again January 11th, so thats when I'll get busy again! I do have to work over the break, so I won't have tons and tons of free time, but I can try to get one volume started digitizing if there is alot of interest or it can fill in gaps in the ones already posted.

Might be worth co-ordinating with iieee so you don't end up scanning the same volume!

(see this thread)

Also, if you do find you have access to some tapes, they're considerably less hassle to digitize than books. And they're much harder to buy secondhand than the books, there's something to be said for just posting the audio...
