Provision of Full-Text Articles


We are bound by our license agreements with the vendors and publishers of library resources. Most require some sort of user authentication before sending full-text articles, database results, or other types of information. Some forbid any electronic transmission of material. Because of these restrictions, we cannot send the full-text of articles electronically.


The following copyright statement also applies:

Warning Concerning Copyright Restrictions

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted materials.

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research". If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use", that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
