Carleton University Library signs license agreements with vendors and publishers to provide Carleton students, faculty, and staff with access to electronic resources (databases, eJournals, eBooks, etc.) to support their teaching, learning, and research activities.
These license agreements restrict access to the electronic resources to authorized users: generally, current Carleton students, faculty, and staff, and on-campus visitors. Off-campus (remote) use is generally restricted to authorized users. Certain groups, such as Carleton alumni, may have additional access depending on the resource.
The agreements also set out acceptable and unacceptable uses of the databases by authorized users. Users who breach license agreements may lose access to resources and may face other disciplinary or legal consequences. Misuse may also result in loss of access to a given resource for the entire Carleton community. If you are unsure about what you can do with a particular resource, check the permitted uses for that resource in our license database.
