image, Terms and conditions of use

The terms and conditions of licences governing the use of electronic information resources must be complied with.
Terms and conditions vary in their detail, but include the following:

  • Electronic information resources are licensed to UCD for the use of currently registered UCD staff and students and, only where provided for and defined by an individual licence, other authorised users.
  • Electronic information resources may be used for the purposes of UCD teaching, learning, research and administration only. They may NOT be used for commercial gain or for work undertaken by a student for the benefit of her/his employer. This includes the employer of a student on work placement as part of a UCD course.
  • Any copyright statement, proprietary marking, or protection measure included on any copy, or copies, derived from an electronic information resource must not be removed or interfered with.
  • Any copy, or copies, derived from an electronic information resource must be made within the terms of the licence. This will normally exclude the copying of the whole, or substantial part, of a database, journal issue or other publication.
  • Licences vary considerably as to whether distribution of smaller amounts of material in the form of print copies for classes, inclusion of local copies in Blackboard, or other further distribution is allowed and this should not be done without seeking further information. Please note that you cannot rely on educational exemptions under the Irish Copyright Act with respect to licensed resources, as the vast majority of our licences are not governed by Irish law. Further details of licences of individual resources are available to UCD staff and students on request to the Library.
