  File format: Certain technical standards must be met for the delivery of books published with miami. The specifications of the University and State Library apply. For more details, see file creation.

  Copyright: As the author, you grant the University and State Library the simple right of use to publicly reproduce the publication in data networks and to transmit it for individual retrieval.
