Licensed Electronic Resources Access & Use

The Dalhousie University Libraries license electronic resources (e.g. databases, ejournals, ebooks, etc.). These electronic resources are legally licensed for access only to members of the Dalhousie community (students, faculty, and staff) and to on-site users of the Dalhousie libraries for purposes of research, teaching, and private study, and not for commercial purposes. Importantly, unless you are affiliated with Dalhousie, these resources cannot be made available to you remotely. Under the Dalhousie Libraries’ licenses for electronic resources, users generally may not:

  • permit anyone other than authorized users to use the licensed materials
  • modify or create a derivative work of the licensed materials without the permission of the licensor
  • remove, obscure or modify any copyright or other notices included in the licensed materials
  • use the licensed materials for commercial purposes, including but not limited to the sale of the licensed materials
  • reproduce or redistribute licensed materials in bulk or in a systematic way
  • post content or items from the licensed materials to social networking sites
