The University of Oregon Library provides access to numerous electronic resources. The licensing agreement for each of these resources establishes rights for the Library's authorized users, copyright restrictions, and fair use guidelines, in addition to other terms and conditions.
All agreements prohibit anyone other than authorized users from using the licensed products.
UO faculty, UO staff, UO students, and onsite users of the Library's computer networks and electronic resources usually comprise the Library's authorized users. Some agreements may define authorized users even more narrowly. These agreements seek to restrict access to a particular group of library users, usually to current UO faculty and UO students only. When negotiating terms and conditions the Library seeks to extend the broadest access possible to all of its authorized users. Most agreements grant access to authorized users for educational, research and personal use.
