Terms & Guidelines

The rules that keep the library open, accurate, and fair — for readers and contributors alike.

01

Free for personal, non-commercial use

Every document you find here is free to search, preview, and download. Downloaded documents are meant for personal reading, study, or reference — not for resale or republishing as your own work.

02

What you can share

You may upload a document if at least one of the following is true:

  • You created the document yourself.
  • You have permission from the person or organization who created it.
  • The document is in the public domain or explicitly free to redistribute.
03

What isn’t allowed

We remove uploads that:

  • Infringe someone else’s copyright.
  • Are mislabeled, incomplete, or intentionally misleading.
  • Contain harmful, illegal, or exploitative material of any kind.
  • Duplicate a document that’s already properly catalogued in the library.
04

How uploads are checked

Every upload is reviewed before it becomes visible to other readers. We check the title and category are accurate, the file opens correctly, and the contributor has confirmed they have the right to share it. Documents that don’t meet these basics are rejected before publication.

05

Rights holder requests

If you’re the rights holder of a document listed here and want it removed, contact us with the document title or link. We review these requests as a priority and remove confirmed infringing content promptly.

06

Responsibility for your uploads

Contributors are responsible for what they upload under their account. Repeated uploads that violate these guidelines can result in a contributor’s uploads being restricted.

07

Updates to these guidelines

These guidelines may be updated as the library grows, to keep pace with new categories of content and new questions from our community. The most current version always applies.

Have a question about a specific case?

These guidelines cover most situations, but if yours is more specific — a shared work with multiple authors, a translated text, an out-of-print book — reach out and we’ll walk through it with you directly.

Ready to browse or contribute?

The guidelines above apply to every document in the library, so you always know what you’re downloading and sharing.
