Lehigh Libraries is committed to open knowledge, global resource discoverability, and the reuse of bibliographic and descriptive metadata.

Lehigh Libraries places no copyright or restrictions on the original or enhanced bibliographic metadata it creates, except where contractually restricted by third-party vendor agreements or governed by cooperative network policies.

To the extent permitted by law and contractual obligations, Lehigh Libraries dedicates its eligible library metadata—including locally created MARC records, KBART/ONIX transformations, BIBFRAME entity graphs, RDF linked data, Archival metadata, and digital collection metadata—to the public domain under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.

Patron data, business data, and data with contractual, privacy, or security concerns are excepted from this policy.
