The ISFDB is an online open-content collaborative bibliographic database, that is, a voluntary association of individuals and groups who are developing a common resource of human knowledge. The structure of the project allows anyone with an account, an Internet connection, and World Wide Web browser to alter its content. Please be advised that nothing found here has necessarily been reviewed by professionals with the expertise required to provide you with complete, accurate, or reliable information.

That is not to say that you will not find valuable and accurate information in the ISFDB; much of the time you will. However, the ISFDB cannot guarantee the validity of the information found here. The content of any given database record may recently have been changed, vandalized, or altered by someone whose opinion does not correspond with the state of knowledge in the relevant fields.

Moderation
While all data submissions are moderated, the ISFDB is not uniformly peer reviewed; while readers and moderators may correct errors, they have no legal duty to do so and thus all information read here is without any implied warranty of fitness for any purpose or use whatsoever.


 * None of the authors, contributors, sponsors, administrators, sysops, or anyone else connected with the ISFDB in any way whatsoever can be responsible for the appearance of any inaccurate or libelous information or for your use of the information contained in or linked from these web pages.

You are being granted a limited license to copy anything from this site; it does not create or imply any contractual or extracontractual liability on the part of the ISFDB or any of its agents, members, organizers or other users.
