If you send us personal information (for example, your email address when asking a question), we will only use this personal information for the purpose for which it was provided. We will keep any personal information you provide to us secure and will not disclose it to any other parties without your prior consent.

You agree to keep your user ID and password secure. Do not disclose your password to anyone else. If you think someone else knows your User ID and password, you must immediately change your password, or cancel your online account, or contact us.

Copyright

Unless otherwise stated, none of the content of this website may be reproduced, copied, used, communicated to the public, or transmitted without the express written permission of Dunedin Public Libraries , except for the purpose of private study, research, criticism, review, or education, as provided for in New Zealand's Copyright Act of 1994.

When you donate or deposit material (texts, photographs, video clips, sound clips) into this heritage site you will be required to sign a form stating that it is yours to give and outlining any special conditions.

You, or the current copyright holder will keep your copyright and members of the public will only be able to share and reuse your work with your permission. For older works where the original rights holder is deceased, anyone who wishes to share or reuse the work must attempt to contact the rights holder’s descendants

Rather than require members of the public to attempt to contact each rights holder or their descendants individually Creative Commons (CC) licensing is increasingly used to provide clarity to the public over how a work can be shared and reused.

Creative Commons (CC) licensing has been adopted by governments, schools, artists, universities and news organisations across the world including the New Zealand Government, the National Library, Te Papa and Lincoln University. Dunedin Public Libraries supports the use of Creative Commons licensing to provide clarity to the public over how a work can be shared and reused.

Only the copyright holder can decide to use a CC License. If you use a CC licence you will be giving permission, in advance, to everyone. There are six CC licenses providing a range of options between full ‘all rights reserved’ copyright and the ‘public domain.

On this Scattered Seeds site the default license is:

Attribution – others must credit you in the manner specified by you
Non-Commercial – others must not use this work for commercial purpose
No Derivatives – others may not alter, transform or build upon this work

For certain materials a more restrictive licence may operate but will be reflected alongside the content.

Images of Taonga Maori (Maori Cultural treasures)

Images of taonga (treasures) are of significant cultural importance to iwi (tribes). Dunedin Public Libraries requests that these images and associated information be used only for research, study, personal, and educational purposes.

Images of Collection Items

Where rights permit, Dunedin Public Libraries has made available for download high resolution images of collection items. Some images are openly available and have no restrictions on reuse. Others are licensed with Creative Commons Attribution – Non commercial – No Derivatives licence.

Request Permission
