Database Usage Policies

Usage Policies
As an authorized user, you have the right to search the database, view the results and to extract (by e-mailing, printing, or downloading) limited data or articles for personal academic use only.
You do not have the right to systematically extract material from a database or to extract a substantial amount of material. Downloading entire issues of a journal or entire collections of data, for example, is a violation of the User Agreements.
All User Agreements specifically prohibit sharing the licensed material in the database with non-authorized users. This means that you may not e-mail or send a copy of an article or other material to a friend or colleague at another institution.
You may not post licensed material on your web site.
You do not have the right to use the licensed material for commercial purposes.
You do not have the right to remove, modify, or obscure copyright notices or other notices and disclaimers.
Violations may result in the publisher terminating access to the database and pursuing legal action against HPU.
