Q. What is this online library?

Our online library is a digital platform where users can share, borrow, and access various works. Contributors can upload and share their works, while researchers can explore and borrow resources with the owner's approval.

Q. Who can use this library?

We have two types of users: Contributors and Researchers. Contributors can upload and share their works, while Researchers can browse and request to borrow works from the library.

Q. What types of works can I upload?

You can upload a variety of works including research papers, books, articles, and other digital content. Please ensure your uploads comply with our content guidelines.

Q. Can I restrict access to my uploaded works?

Yes, as a Contributor, you have control over who can borrow your works. Researchers must request access, and you can choose to approve or deny these requests.

Q. How do I approve or reject a borrowing request?

When a researcher requests to borrow your work, you will receive a notification. You can review the request and either approve or reject it via your dashboard.
