Copying of materials from databases and electronic book or journal collections to which the Library subscribes (e.g. Proquest and ScienceDirect), is governed by licensing agreements between the Library and the database or journal provider. In general, these agreements do not permit you to make multiple print copies for teaching use; nor do they permit you to copy the file to another location for purposes of student access. Students must access the material through a direct link to the online resource.

If you want to direct your students to a particular article, submit the link as a request to the Course Materials Database and the Library staff will make the link. Although it is not mandatory that the link be made through the CMD, experience has shown that stability of the link and off-campus access using the link are more reliable when it is made and maintained by the Library staff.
