As I head off in search of a branch of Caffe Nero's so I can look at the British Library Online Newspaper Archives for free, I'd like to remind people that this is something you can do.

Something I only discovered a few years ago - free membership of the City of London's Barbican Library (you only need a UK address) gives you *remote* access to a great range of online resources - inc BNA (altho offline today) & other newspaper databases 😃

Yes, generally, peer reviewed articles are copyrighted, but it depends on the publisher whether that's a CC license or other

Dr Hélène Maloigne @hmaloigne.bsky.social · 14d

Can someone explain to me why this claim was only about books and did not include (peer reviewed) articles?

The Boring Fund will be open for applications in November.

If your small UK charity needs (up to) £200 to cover something boring like insurance or web hosting, take a look.

They welcome donations too.

The Boring Fund - Open Collective

We support small non-profit organisations (UK) by only funding the really boring (but essential) stuff like insurance, accountancy or admin
