Access/Use

By default, all materials deposited into BDEARS shall be available to any user with internet access. However, in some cases, access restrictions may be necessary to comply with intellectual property or copyright agreements (i.e. publisher embargoes). The expectation is that materials accepted for deposit will be renderable (i.e. human viewable) according to the limitations and opportunities of current technologies deployed by BDEARS. This means there may be some format types (usually obsolete or obscure) that will not be fully renderable and when this is the case, BDEARS will make such limitations known in advance whenever possible. Use of materials is limited by whatever copyright notice has been provided. In most cases, authors reserve all rights and material can only be used under fair use provisions. See the Access and Use Policy for more information.
