1. eBook Usage Terms and Conditions
2. Website Usage Terms and Conditions

While many of these items are made publicly-accessible, they are not all public domain -- the vast majority of the images, and a number of the texts, including all of those from the School eBook Library Membership Section, are copyrighted to the School eBook Library, for example, and a number of other texts are still copyrighted to their original print publishers and made available here with permission. We have put thousands of hours of work -- and tens of thousands of dollars into the digital development of these intellectual properties, and we hope the results are useful to a broad audience.

In the Public Access Section the works in those collections are those of numerous consortia. Because of contractual obligations with the consortia member who supply the eBooks, texts, and images access to their mirrored holdings are restricted their usage terms and conditions (often found in the header of the file). We do not own these collections -- we merely license their use for our School eBook Library users.

By their use of these ebooks, texts and images, users agree to follow these conditions of use:

• These ebooks, texts and images may not be used for any commercial purpose without permission from the School eBook Library or the respective consortia provider member.
  
  
• These ebooks, texts and images may not be re-published in print or electronic form without permission from the World eBook Library. However, educators are welcome to print out items and hand them to their students.
  
  
• Users are not permitted to download our ebooks, texts, and images in order to mount them on their own servers for public use or for use by a set of subscribers. Individuals and institutions can, of course, make a link to the copies files at School eBook Library.
  
  
• It is not in our interest or that of our users to have uncontrolled subsets of our holdings available or stored elsewhere. We make corrections, add tags, add images, etc. on a continual basis, and we want the most current text to be the only one generally available to all Internet users.
  

We thank the many projects and individuals who have contributed texts to these collections. Credits and specific usage terms and conditions are provided at the head of each text. New collections are continuously being added. We are actively working our way through the public ASCII texts on the Internet whose provenance can be determined.
