License Information for Steely Library Electronic Resources

Many of the electronic resources available through Steely Library are governed by license agreements which generally restrict access and use to NKU students, faculty, staff and on-site users of the library. Users are individually responsible for ensuring that these resources are used for personal and/or educational non-commercial purposes without systematically downloading, distributing, printing or retaining substantial portions of the information. Examples of prohibited uses include, but are not limited to, such actions as downloading or printing entire journal issues, or electronically transmitting online content to mailing lists or electronic bulletin boards. Keep in mind that restrictions vary from resource to resource.

General license information is provided in the following tables. Table 1 lists publisher packages and Table 2 lists individually subscribed electronic resources. Search for a resource by the call number found in NKUIRE. If the call number indicates a package name (i.e. Electronic Access ACS) then use Table 1. If the call number is simply Electronic Access, then search by title in Table 2. If you have questions about a particular resource, please contact Donna Smith at extension 6140 or email smithd@nku.edu.
