</p><p>The library is a collection of texts and the readers collected around them. Nothing comes from nothing, everything comes from somewhere, something or someone. Authors are dependent on other texts, writers, and readers. I write this text using borrowed words. As a legal, economic and institutional construct<supclass="reference"id="cite_ref-1"><ahref="#cite_note-1">[1]</a></sup>, authorship is problematic; current publishing models see texts as the intellectual property of authors possessed with “originality”.
