About alo

Copyright and Access

alo sympathises with the Open Access movement. To our opinion scanning and digitising of public domain documents does not generate any new copyright since it is not an intellectual work in the sense of the WIPO contract. All documents in alo are therefore in principle freely available. This is especially true for documents where the author died more than 70 years ago.

For documents, where we got the agreement from the copyright holder, it has to be taken into account, that not all access rights which exceed the making available of documents on our website, can be guaranteed. In these cases please get into contact with us.

If you want to use the documents from alo than please be aware that in any case you have to mention the author and the title of the work. Moreover we are thankful if you place a note that you found the document at www.literature.at. Apart from this you can use the documents in any way you like.
