OZ magazine


Still on the subject of magazines.......All 48 issues of OZ magazine now available to download

http://ro.uow.edu.au/ozlondon/

Re: OZ magazine

Thanks for the pointer Niallox. Are these actually downloadable though? For instance, I can d/l the 2 x posters listed seperately for issue 1 as I am offered the prompt 'open' or 'save'for them. When I click on 'download' option on the actual issue of #1 Oz though, it doesn't give this option prompt, it just opens the copy on screen with no obvious means of saving it. Am I missing something?

Cheers

Re: OZ magazine

Thanks Niall, I'll have another go. That is what I did before but it din't give me a 'save' or 'open' prompt it just opened it on screen. Yes, do have a think about the BoB idea or anyhting else you might beinterested in writing. Thanks again

Cheers
Paul

Re: OZ magazine

Thanks Niallox - this is fantastic. Don't suppose anyone knows a similar resource for 'it'

Re: OZ magazine

Got it now! The tiny down pointing arrow top right as you said Niall. Now I'm downloading all 48 issues. A similar site for International Times would be a great companion piece, but I'm not complaining about this Oz one, thanks Niall. I was a schoolboy striker in 1972 or 1973 whenever that little red school book issue was!

On a related note has anyone accessed this-

Re: OZ magazine

A useful resource Paul. It looks like something you'd want to find an institution like a library service (good luck with these days!)to subscribe to which would give public access to it. I imagine there are university libraries with stong media studies degree course profiles that are subscribed to it. I don't think I'd bother as an individual unless as an indepednant researcher my main domain was in media, film etc. studies. The sample list of titles doesn't look that comprehensive either. I much prefer the approach of the Woolagong University in NZ, that hosts the Oz archive, free to download as it should be. I dislike the privatisiation of knowledge or research resources in this pay to view way.

Re: OZ magazine

Actually, has anyone with a dropbox account managed to downlaod all 48 issues of Oz from the website? I've managed issues 1-10, but I only have an elderly PC with as much spare memory capacity as a politician avoiding the truth under questioning! Hence because you have to load each copy of Oz to the screen before it can be d/l'd it takes at least 10-12 minutes per issue to load on screen. If anyone has the other issues and can upload to their dropbox and send me a link, it will be much quicker to d/l them without having to wait for each one to load on screen. I hope that makes sense? Thanks anyway.

Re: OZ magazine

Good find Paul! 'Long Hair 1966' An organ of David Bowie's National Society of Long Haied Men per chance?
