HISTORY. Some insights into perceptions about libraries from the past:

You are aware that the Public Library is now opened for general use. It is not, however, available to a very large portion of those who would most appreciate its advantages, I mean the young gentlemen engaged in the public services, the banks, and the merchants’ counting houses, as it is closed in the evening, which is the only time this numerous class of readers can find time leisure to avail themselves of its advantages. It is, however, understood that it will be opened in the evening, as soon arrangements are made to have it lighted with gas. This will be a great improvement, by enlarging the sphere of its usefulness, and affording accommodation to a class of persons, whom it is of the greatest importance to remove from the temptations of far less respectable recreations. Bendigo Advertiser Thu 21 Feb 1856 Page 2

The Public Library has been thrown open to the public at night, — a luxury fully appreciated by many, and which it is to be hoped, will have the happy effect of improving the tastes of the working classes Mount Alexander Mail Fri 30 May 1856 Page 4

Selling reproductions from digitised library collections. This week an academic indented a reproduction of a library item that had been digitised which was being sold online. There are a large number of reproductions being sold by the bookseller – from the ANU Library, Kyoto University’s Amabie digitisation project and Harvard Yenching digitised items as well as many others from another library. This raises interesting questions of whether those purchasing the materials understand that they are reproductions, the of opening up knowledge through commercial resellers, digital rights and the nature of commercialisation of content beyond the traditional means of selling and reselling. Thanks to Friederike and Tom for the analytic work and Ben Penny and Nathan Woolley for identifying this
