Terms and conditions for use of electronic resources

The Library's electronic resources are governed by licence agreements which restrict use to the Monash community and to walk-in patrons. Students and walk-in patrons must be responsible for limiting use to non-commercial academic research or learning purposes, and must not systematically download, distribute, or retain substantial portions of information. Copyright and proprietary notices must not be removed from any printed or downloaded material and all use of material must be cited appropriately. The use of software, including scripts, agents or robots, is prohibited and may result in the loss of access to the resources for the entire Monash community. Users found to be in breach of these terms of use may be suspended from access to all purchased electronic resources. Users are also legally required to comply with any additional terms of use as specified in an electronic resource.

Staff should note that any use of electronic resources for teaching purposes must comply with the contractual terms of use of the electronic resource from which the material was sourced. Each electronic resource has its own set of contractual terms. To check whether your proposed usage falls within the relevant contractual terms, send an email to Copyright Adviser: University.Copyright@lib.monash.edu.au.
Your email should include a description of the way in which you propose to use the material and the names of the electronic resources (and journals) from which the material was sourced. For further information about copyright see Copyright at Monash University.
