Click and flick has turned out to be highly successful, with over 9,000 photos uploaded since January This may not seem like much on internet scale, but it’s a huge number for a library collection It’s also significantly raised the profile of the PictureAustralia collection, with the NLA reporting much higher usage, even during traditionally slow periods The NLA doesn’t have any statistics on how many people are using CC licences, but they say anecdotally that they think it is a large portion, or even the majority.
