I'm not aware of any online versions. Have you considered inter-library loan if the journal in which this appeared is not available locally?

Hi John

Last time I asked to a library a book from the inter-library loan was 3 months ago, and still no awnser ;).
Perhaps someone could make a digitalization? Its a Journal, rigth? I mean is public domain, no?

This article its refered in several places, so I think is a good one, but perhaps there are some online that could do the work?

Thanks again.

Its a Journal, rigth? I mean is public domain, no?

Probably no, not public domain. Most publishers of journals are just as interested in getting their subscription monies as type designers are in getting their licensing fees. Whodathunk!

> Its a Journal, rigth? I mean is public domain, no?

No, not really. Being public is different than being in the public domain. The article would still be under copyright and should not be reproduced in toto publicly (digitally or otherwise) without the author's permission.

Looks like many back issues of the Printing History journal, including the one you seek, are still in print and available for purchase directly from the APHA. Info here:

Doesn't look like an order form is available yet, however, so you may have to contact someone directly.

hmmm...I recently visited a public library here in Portugal in order to get an digitalisation of an article from a newspaper 50 years ago. I asked the question: what about copyrigths? Answer: Its a newspaper, its public domain. Only if you want to reproduce the complete newspaper that could be necessary author/editor permission. Perhaps the law is diferent here?

I want to read the article. Not to produce or use it in any kind of publication...

thanks again
António

> Answer: Its a newspaper, its public domain.

Was that librarian also a lawyer? I suspect he/she meant that the newspaper wouldn't come after them about the copyright, so it doesn't matter. Be assured that a newspaper is not public domain. Unless the copyright period is under 50 years in Portugal, that is.

Don’t know about Portugal, but at least in Italy there is an exception to copyright law regarding newspaper, which allows to reprint a whole piece.
But that, of course, is tied with the “news” part. Therefore it doesn’t apply to journals or academic magazines.

Thanks everyone for the inputs about copyright law :)
Does anyone here knows good articles online about smallcaps?

Thanks again
António

i'll try to run it down for you.

kentlew, there are many contexts in which duplication of a complete work without advance permission is completely legal. Fair dealing and fair use for research purposes and creation of alternate formats are but three.

Do you seriously think this researcher should be given, say, only 10% of the article because you personally mistakenly believe it is illegal to reproduce the full article?

Joe -- I said "in toto publicly", by which I meant, for example, scanning and posting on a public website, which would constitute publishing, in my opinion. (Granted, mine is not the opinion that matters, I suppose).

I have no issue with Fair Use for research, and I'm glad that bowerbird was able to provide a copy to António privately.

If what you were saying were true, we could never publish a photograph to talk about it.

That's funny, I could swear I saw a car going over the
speed limit this morning... Wait a sec, I was in it!

I wasn't talking about a photograph. I was talking about an essay.
