Library Desk

The library that knows who may see what.

A folder shares a file. The Library Desk shares a right. Every document carries a rights status, an access rule, and an expiry — so a licensed rental part reaches only the musicians called for that production, watermark-flagged when it must be, and gone when the run ends.

  • Rights status on every file
  • Access by section · production · person
  • Time-limited, watermark-aware
  • Who opened it · who has not

The unowned middle

Catalogs hold scores. Drives hold files. Neither holds rights.

Kalinklo organizes access to organization-approved materials with the one layer no incumbent owns: rights-aware workflow. The library knows whether a file is public domain, original, licensed rental, or pending review — and acts on it.

Workflow sample

Illustrative

  1. Librarian

    Tag the rights

    classify

    Mark each document public domain, original, licensed rental, perusal, view-only, or blocked-pending-review. Unknown rights raise a red flag until resolved.

  2. Library Desk

    Enforce the access

    gate

    Files are never served by a permanent public link. Access runs through a permission, rights, and expiry check that streams the bytes server-side and records who opened what.

  3. Musician

    See only their part

    access

    A second-stand violinist sees the violin parts they are assigned, for the production they are called for — not the whole library, not another section's material.

What this lets you do

Built around the way you work

We never expose a permanent public document link

Access is always gated and logged — even for the people who are allowed in.

Unknown rights are surfaced, not hidden

A document with unverified rights raises a red flag until a librarian resolves it.

The organization owns the rights decision

Kalinklo organizes access to organization-approved materials; we do not license catalog or adjudicate copyright.

Rights model

Permission, rights, and time — together

A document is visible only when the person's role or assignment allows it, the rights status permits it, and the access window is still open. All three are checked server-side on every open. A librarian can preview exactly what any member would see before sharing.

Rights-aware

Public domain, original, licensed rental, perusal, view-only, or blocked — each behaves differently.

Time-limited

Rental parts can expire after the final concert; a warning fires before they lapse.

Watermark-ready

Sensitive material can be flagged view-only and watermark-required.

Approval-gated

Documents move through draft, pending review, approved, or rejected — members see approved files only.

Get started

Kalinklo organizes access to organization-approved materials and external links. The organization remains responsible for the rights to upload, share, perform, rent, copy, or distribute any music materials.

Access is approval-gated and reviewed by hand. For a closer reading of this workspace, see the help centre article.
