A Dadooda Private Access Library, known on this website as a PAL, enables members of Dadooda to set up or join a multimedia library to which access is restricted to an invited group of people.

PAL members can upload and share all the media types available on Dadooda – photos, video, audio and text documents – using the same simple template based procedures. The big difference is that instead of being published on Dadooda for anyone to access, only members of the PAL will be able to access them.

The applications for a PAL are almost limitless. Families, friends, students, work colleagues, teams, clubs, societies, small businesses, agencies, teachers or just about any community or special interest group can share their work or experiences, their talent or creativity in their own private website environment.

There is no limit on the number of members a PAL can have – it can be any number from one upwards! There is also no limit on the number of PALs you can set up or belong to.

You can choose between two types of PAL - a miniPAL and a maxiPAL.

A miniPAL is ideal for families and friends and small groups or communities.

A maxiPAL offers enhanced functionality and is ideal for larger groups or communities and organisations such as clubs, societies and small businesses.

Each type of PAL requires just one member of Dadooda to set it up. That member automatically becomes the PAL’s first “Organiser” (in the case of a miniPAL) or “Librarian” (in the case of a maxiPAL).

The Organiser or Librarian has exclusive access to tools and functions to organise and customise the PAL and, of course, invite other people to join it!

Our "try before you buy" feature means you can set up a PAL and use it on your own for as long as you wish before you activate it and send out your invitations. In fact you can set up both a miniPAL and a maxiPAL so you can compare their features before you commit to one or the other.

We even give you a choice of price plans. Choose between an Individual plan, where every member pays their own annual subscription direct to Dadooda, and a Group plan, where you can buy a block of membership credits (1 credit = 1 member) at substantial discounts to the Individual rate.

You don’t need any special skills to be an Organiser or a Librarian and all tasks can be performed while you are sitting at your computer and logged in to Dadooda! You can easily transfer the role of Organiser or Librarian to another member of the PAL at any time and as often as you wish.

Setting up both a miniPAL and a maxiPAL is quick and easy. It’s just like setting up your own multimedia website but at a tiny fraction of the cost. Use it for fun, or use it for more serious purposes.
