Book donation
On Digitália, one of the online interfaces of the University of Pécs
Library and Knowledge Centre, the readers can find a great number of
digitalized scientific works – and the collection is constantly expanding!
Nowadays, access to digitalized documents is becoming increasingly relevant. It
can be seen by the fact that many publications and documents are published
digitally, and printers usually print these works from PDF master prints.
The staff of Digitália
welcomes works voluntarily donated by their
authors, successors or right-holders. This way the interface of Digitália
can be expanded with a number of new works from various disciplines, providing
a wider reader base by making them available online.
This can be made by the
author/right-holder donating the published scientific work for publication in
Digitália under a licensing agreement.
If the author
specifically declare that his/her work can be available to users freely, readers will be able to open it
regardless of time and location. If the author/right-holder does not consent to
the document being made freely available, an option is that the work can only
be read on dedicated terminals in our library. In this case, readers cannot
even print, copy and save parts from the work.
The book can be sent via
e-mail (up to 15 MB). If its size exceeds 15 MB, please send it to us via a file
transfer website or share with us its cloud storage link.
If the work was published only electronically (so not in print), it is possible
for the sender to choose between “free” or terminal publication only if he/she
has the work in PDF format. For other e-book formats (epub, mobi, azw, prc,
etc.), we will only be able to accept the book if the sender allows it for free
download.
At the moment, Digitália only
accepts documents that meet the following parameters:
• only the author/successor/right-holder can donate the exact digital
copy of the work;
• the author has to send us the front matter and cover pages of the
work;
• only monographic works that fall into the category of books are
accepted;
• in case of co-authorship and volume of essays or studies, permission
is required from all authors;
• as a university library, at the moment, we only accept scientific
works;
• only final, PDF master copies are accepted;
• an abstract in Hungarian and 3–7 Hungarian keywords are required;
• the author/successor/right-holder consents to the free/terminal use of
the work in writing,
• in case of free use, the reader can freely view and save the work. In
case of terminal use, the user can view only the metadata and table of contents
of the work;
• the sender agrees that the work will also be included in the
electronic catalog of the library.
If you are interested in donating a document, please contact one of our colleagues,
who can provide further information about becoming available on Digitália:
