The art books, a few computer books, craft and sewing books… growing up there was a classic recipe book called Australian Cookery and the Vogue Book of sewing but they may be gone now. I had some rare cds but one was lost in a hasty move and another was stolen 🙄
I’ll have to look at the laws but I’m so risk averse because I don’t have the money for a lawyer and would be hit hard if my internet was cut off.
I wish it was just legally ok to upload things to allow fair access and ensure they weren’t lost… culture, resources, basic skills.

I’m just saying I’m intimidated about working out the loopholes. I’m caught in a space where I recognise the value but am struggling to contribute

Otherside, I don’t scan, I write the code that lets you find they exist.
Many research grants now require the outcomes to be free and public. Open Access is growing, but somebody still has to pay at some point.
