Electronic Resources
|
Although most electronic library resources, including
indexes and abstracts, electronic books, and electronic
journals, can be used for academic purposes when you are
on campus, remote access to these resources is restricted
by licensing agreement to current faculty, students and
staff. These resources are identified on our web pages by
an
icon.
License agreements also prohibit the use of
these resources in support of commercial
purposes by all users including Rensselaer
faculty, staff and students. These purposes include, but
are not limited to, students co-op or other internships
as well as faculty consulting activities.
A few resources are explicitly available only to
current faculty, staff and students for academic use.
These include SciFinder Scholar, the online version of
Chemical Abstracts, Standard & Poor's ExecuComp
Database and Standard & Poor's Research
Insight/Compustat (North America).p>
Use of electronic resources is regularly monitored by
library staff and vendors. Violation of licensing
agreements may lead to loss of your library or other
privileges as well as jeopardize conitnued campus access
to a paticular resource. If you have any questions about
contractual obligations or your own proposed use, please
contact us.
