Rules of the Distributed Library
Mediamatic maintains a distributed library. Together the members of Mediamatic.net take care of and share a growing collection of books and other physical media. Anyone can participate in our shared library.
1:
If you would like to join the project, you need to create a free and recognizable profile on Mediamatic.net. This profile needs to include a name, a photo, some keywords, a small biography and your contact information (which is only visible for members).
2:
Books will be distributed during booksparties and there will be bookshelfes in our expositionroom, where you can look for titels.
3:
A title is either an individual book, video, cd-rom or magazine volume.
4:
By taking a title home, you promise Mediamatic to take good care of it. This means that:
4.1: You are registered on the site as the owner of the title.
4.2: You are expected to expand the information on the site by adding (at least) a photo and a small introductionary text to the titles you take home.
4.3: You have to describe why you choose a particular title, for instance why you think this title is interesting.
4.4: If another member of Mediamatic wants to borrow or look into a title you own, you are obliged to help him, by:
- making the title available
- making sure to register that somebody else is taking care of the book on Mediamatic.net. For now, you will stay registered as the owner of the title on the Mediamatic website, which means you will stay responsible for the title. In case you want to sign over your ownership of a certain title to someone else, you can contact Mediamatic. The titles you are responsible for can be found in "my content" ("my items").
