Precautions for Use of Electronic Resources

Regarding the use of electronic resources such as e-journals and databases, the publisher has established the license terms. In general, the following items are strictly prohibited by any provider.

  • A large amount of downloads in a short period of time or download using programs, etc. beyond the scope of use of individuals.
  • Use for personal academic research and other purposes other than education.
  • Copying, modifying, redistribute, resale, etc. of the downloaded content.
  • Infringing copyright or other property rights.
  • ※If an act that violates the terms of use, such as excessive access or mass download, is detected, penalties such as suspension of use or cancellation of the contract may be imposed on the entire university. We ask for your cooperation in the proper use of electronic journals and databases.
  • ※In some cases, the "link pre-reading function" of the web browser causes mass downloads and mass access unintentionally. The "Link Pre-reading Function" repeats access to links in the page in the background while browsing the page. Therefore, even if the person intends to use it normally, there are cases where it is unintentionally considered mass access / mass download. When using electronic resources, please pay attention to the settings of the browser.

 

  • Free … You can access it from anywhere in the database and search site that is open to the public.
  • Contract … It is an electronic resource contracted by TUFS that can be accessed on campus or off-campus (IP / password authentication).
  • Contract … OA (OpenAthens) is an authentication tool for using electronic resources contracted by TUFS. Once you have logged in first, you can use electronic resources seamlessly.
