Open-access content & publisher liability
Shubhaarti Digital Library indexes open-access scholarly content from publicly available sources and provides discovery and reading tools. Indexed works remain subject to their rights-holders' rights and licences. Inclusion does not establish accuracy, completeness or permission for every use. Users should verify information against the original published source.
Author attribution
Catalogue records display available source metadata, which may be incomplete or incorrect. We do not claim authorship of any indexed work. If you are an author and believe attribution is incorrect or missing, please contact us at subscriptions@shubhaarti.in.
Fair dealing & permitted research use
- Content may be read, downloaded, and cited for personal, research and private study where permitted by the work's licence, access terms or applicable copyright exceptions.
- Attribute sources when quoting or citing. Attribution alone does not grant permission to reproduce a work.
- Any other reproduction, redistribution, or commercial use must comply with the applicable licence or require permission where no legal exception applies.
Prohibited uses
- Automated bulk scraping: No bots, crawlers, scripts, or automated tools may systematically download, reproduce, or redistribute content beyond what a human reader would reasonably access without authorisation.
- Credential sharing: Sharing institutional login credentials is prohibited.
- Access control bypass: Circumventing authentication, paywalls, or access restrictions is prohibited.
- Commercial redistribution: Selling, sublicensing, or incorporating platform content into a commercial product without written permission is prohibited.
