-====== Introduction and site map ======
+====== Using the Library ======
-**Dobrodošli! Welcome!**
-Virtual South Slavic Literature Library is a starting point of choice for readers of on-line South Slavic literature. Spanning the Balkan states of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia by virtue of language similarities, the library does not attempt to follow national borders but builds around a unique author index, underlining in this way the multicultural flair of the region.
+===== Usage concepts - Readers and Editors =====
-====== Structure ======
+This library is a **restricted Wiki system**, which means that not everyone is permitted to do everything. Here are the **access possibilities**:
-South Slavic Literature Library consists of the following areas:
+  * **Anonymous reader:** As long as you do not create your username and password through a registration process, you are an anonymous reader. As such, you may only browse the Library pages, but can not make any changes to them. You can, however:
+    * Participate in discussions on discussion and user talk pages.
+  * **Registered reader:** After you register and subsequently log in using your username and password, you are a registered reader. (//See below how to become a registered reader.//) You are still not able to change the contents of the most of the pages, but you can additionally (if you wish):
+    * Create/edit __your "talk page"__, so that others can communicate with you by leaving you messages there (note the **"mytalk"** link in the right upper corner).
+    * Edit __your own "user page"__ (after it has been created by administrator) for informing the others about yourself (note the **"<yournick>"** link in the right upper corner),
+  * **Editor:** Editors are keeping the Library alive. Ideally, an editor is a person interested in keeping a group of pages up to date. Editors can change most of the pages. (//See below how to become an editor.// Some users become promoted to an editor without even knowing it.)
+  * **Supereditor:** A supereditor has a full control over most of the pages.
+  * **Administrator:** Administrator has a full control over all aspects of the Library.
