Conditions of use for electronic resources

Many of the electronic resources available through the University Library proxy server are governed by license agreements which restrict use to University of Groningen's students, faculty or staff members.

It is the responsibility of individual users to ensure that these resources are used for personal and/or educational non-commercial purposes only without systematically downloading, distributing, printing or retaining substantial portions of the information in print, disk or CD-ROM or DVD. Examples of prohibited uses include, but are not limited to, such actions as downloading or printing entire journal issues.

Breaches of the University's contractual arrangements with publishers could result in the suspension of access to the resources for the entire University of Groningen community.
