Guidelines for Use of Licensed Electronic Resources

Users of electronic resources are subject to the same copyright laws that govern the use of print materials. Governed by both U.S. copyright law and license terms, some common restrictions include:

• Materials may be used for scholarly, educational and/or scientific research purposes; any selling, distributing, licensing, or renting of materials for commercial uses is prohibited.
• Materials may be used by authorized users only. Authorized users include Memorial Sloan-Kettering researchers, clinicians, health care professionals and students and those who have been allowed access to the Library's computer workstations.
• Systematic and/or substantial downloading or reproduction of materials is prohibited. Only a reasonable number of records, articles or chapters may be downloaded for personal use. Use of Web crawlers, robots, or any other software packages or systematic searching tools or programs is forbidden.
• Any proprietary and/or copyright notices, author attribution or disclaimers on the materials may not be deleted or modified.
