GVGA Policy

General Visitor Guidance & Access

1. Our Commitment to Access

The GVGA (General Visitor Guidance & Access) policy outlines eBookmela's commitment to providing equitable access to human knowledge. We believe that information should be free, accessible, and preserved for future generations.

2. Responsible Use

While we provide access to millions of digital items, we expect our visitors to use these resources responsibly:

  • Academic Integrity: Users should properly cite sources found on eBookmela for their research and educational projects.
  • Automated Access: We discourage the use of aggressive crawling or scraping that puts undue load on our integration with the Internet Archive.
  • Community Standards: Any interaction in our reviews or blog comments should remain respectful and constructive.

3. Digital Rights & Preservation

eBookmela leverages the Internet Archive's technologies, including Controlled Digital Lending (CDL), to provide access to modern books. We strictly adhere to the technical constraints provided by the Archive to ensure that digital lending respects the rights of creators while fulfilling the mission of a public library.

4. Accessibility

We are dedicated to making eBookmela accessible to everyone. Our interface is designed to work with screen readers and other assistive technologies. If you encounter any barriers to access, please reach out to us.

5. Contact for Compliance

For any questions regarding our integration with digital archives or to report concerns about content accessibility, please contact us at compliance@pdfforest.in.
