Update to Contributor Terms

Our Contributor Terms as they exist today are only a few words on our “Share” page, and they were last updated in 2005. As a reminder, that’s the same year YouTube started, and it predates the iPhone by about two years. Well, multiple things have happened since 2005, and conversations earlier this year prompted us to review and revise a new set of Contributor Terms of Use that align with current law and University policies. As mentioned on that page, which I’ll link again:

https://www.ibiblio.org/contributor-terms-of-use/

these terms go into force on July 1 of this year. That’s about 37 days away if you’re reading it the morning of Monday the 25th.

If you have questions about this update to the Contributor Terms of Use that you’d rather not ask in public, please do reach out to us.
