Sounds good. It's like what Langtail Press is doing.
I certainly would like it if my university would expand their literary collections and also put some effort in acquiring complete series as well as core collections for several genres such as sci-fi and fantasy.

@ken: i also do not like the winnowing process, as of course, we are just human beings, and surely there will be biases there and perhaps eradication to prevent "radical" social thought? Okay, that sounds a little silly, but you never know what people are capable of xP
Hmm..maybe people who have copies of these out-of-print books could just digitize them and contribute to the effort? But then that'd be considered as piracy xP
