A library loan is not a lost sale--and Australia has the data to prove it! Great new report here:
law.unimelb.edu.au/__data/as…
ALT 1 We found no evidence that library lending of Untapped's ebooks 'cannibalised' sales -- and indeed some evidence that it increased sales for certain books

Thanks Bob. Well said. And real action is urgent. The status quo is not any longer sensible or safe.
Global warming is here now. 33° in Sydney when average is 20. Small particles in filthy air is dangerous to health as back burning anticipates shockingly bad fire seasons. Floods have made house insurance so expensive that in some places it is costing one month’s household income

Ken Wyatt has embodied decency, competency and small l liberalism before parliament (we worked together @WAHealth), during his time as Minister, and in recent months. A highly respected voice for a Voice. Vote YES. @_PHAA_

NLM has announced they have added proximity searching (aka adjacency searching) to PubMed. Let me be clear: this is a BIG DEAL. It's like Christmas came early for expert searchers and PubMed power users.

Here's how Karl Lauterbach, Germany's Federal Health Minister, defended his decision to mandate masks in schools.
