How to contribute a collection to ibiblio.org
  1. First, read the Collection Criteria below.
  2. If your collection seems to meet the criteria, compose a proposal for your collection with answers to each of the collection criteria questions and paste it into the help form here. If your collection does not meet one of the criteria, don't worry. Not all collections meet ALL criteria. If you have questions about whether or not your collection meets a criterion, just explain how you think it might, or ask for clarification on it. Also, let us know what you would need from us to do what you want to do.
  3. ibiblio staff will assess the the goodness-of-fit between your collection and ibiblio as a whole. We may contact you with further questions.
  4. A decision will be made and you will be notified. If we accept your collection, you will be sent further information and instructions.
ibiblio.org Collection Criteria
The materials available on ibiblio.org represent a diverse community of information providers who obtain space on ibiblio.org only after meeting the following criteria:
  • Do the materials further the teaching, research, or public service mission of UNC?
  • Does the collection use technology in innovative and unique ways? Every collection need not be innovative, but it should use up-to-date technology.
  • Does the collection add synergetic value to other ibiblio.org collections? Does it complement or contradict other collections of music, agriculture, politics, religion, software, etc? An answer of NO to this question should not necessarily disqualify a collection; we may want to begin a new collection area.
  • Is all of the material copyright clear and otherwise legal? Exceptions for "fair use" may apply.
  • Can and will the keepers of the collection operate in a self-sufficient manner or provide requisite support funding? Exceptions can be made for especially important collections.
  • If the collection utilizes third-party software, does the collection maintainer guarantee that the software will be kept up-to-date in a timely fashion, and does the collection maintainer guarantee to remove unused third-party software? See Third Party Software Addendum below for more information.
  • Is the collection non-commercial or operated by a not-for-profit organization or individual?
  • Are the materials of state, national, or international interest? Individual pages are permitted for those who are contributing to other broader collections, but parochial materials should be kept on the campus web server.
  • The materials are collection-oriented, and not personal in nature. Personal, vanity, or portfolio sites are prohibited unless approved otherwise. See Vanity Site Addendum below for more information.

ibiblio.org Contributor Terms of Use
  • Third Party Software: Out-of-Version Third-Party software may be locked down or removed at the discretion of ibiblio administrators. ibiblio contributors agree to upgrade third-party software in a timely fashion when serious security problems become known in older versions.
  • Vanity Site Addendum: Personal, Vanity or Portfolio sites are discouraged on ibiblio. Exceptions will be made for: (1) Collection maintainers may keep a 10 MB directory for personal information, as part of a collection. (2) Ibiblio staffers, and ex-staffers may keep personal, vanity, or portfolio websites.
  • Leeching: The use of the ibiblio.org servers as mere file repositories for web sites hosted elsewhere on the 'Net is strongly discouraged. Our longevity and success depends on the hosting and support of web collections which further the teaching and research missions of the University. We simply cannot serve as a source of unlimited free bandwidth for sites that choose their hosting elsewhere.
