Creativecommons. Sratch. Le Petit Prince canadien est sorti de prison avant le Petit Prince français. Je reprends donc. Cyrano est depuis longtemps entré dans le domaine public. Pour les deux autres, il va encore falloir patienter un peu, pour ne pas dire beaucoup : 2031 pour Le Voyage et 2014 pour Le Petit Prince. Vous me direz que c’est étrange puisque Le Voyage (1932) a été publié bien avant Le Petit Prince (1943).
L’explication vient de la législation : les œuvres entrent dans le domaine public 70 ans après la mort des auteurs. Céline étant mort en 1961 tandis que Saint-Exupéry est venu tragiquement s’écraser en mer en 1944. 70 ans c’est long et arbitraire soit dit en passant. Mais 70 ans c’est surtout une mesure nationale. Il faut savoir en effet que le Canada a lui la bonne idée de s’arrêter à la limite inférieure des conventions internationales, à savoir donc 50 ans après la mort des auteurs. À partir de là on se retrouve avec un site, Wikilivres, qui le propose sur une seule et unique page dans son intégralité, magnifiques dessins inclus !
10 Places to Find Free Images Online and Make Your Content More Linkable. Attracting visitors to your website is a balancing act. On one hand, you must have great information, since that is the core of your service. The text is also the most important part of your site’s content that traditional search engines read, and thus, keywords, headings, originality, and links are so important. On the other hand, few people are going to sit around and read pages and pages of nothing but text – you have to make the page visually appealing. That is where the importance of images comes in! For example, I wrote a post last week about alternatives to blocking domain registration information, and one of the tips was to use your dog’s name in contact info. I added a cute photo of a puppy from Flickr and received lots of comments and links to the post. There are some differences in the types of images that are available online, but keep in mind some images are free and others are rights protected.

Petition for guaranteed public access to publicly-funded research results. You may sign this petition to register your support for free and open access to European research and for the recommendations proposed in the EU's 'Study on the Economic and Technical Evolution of the Scientific Publication Markets of Europe'. Dear Commissioner, Our mission of disseminating knowledge is only half complete if the information is not made widely and readily available to society. Berlin Declaration, October 2003 In January 2006 the European Commission published the Study on the Economic and Technical Evolution of the Scientific Publication Markets of Europe. The Study resulted from a detailed analysis of the current scholarly journal publication market, together with extensive consultation with all the major stakeholders within the scholarly communication process (researchers, funders, publishers, librarians, research policymakers, etc.).
Now, a year after publication of the Study, we urge the EC to endorse the recommendations in full.
