Usage rights for electronic resources
What is in the database?
Only information that is contained in the license agreement will be found in the Usage Rights Database. These conditions of use generally cover the permitted and restricted uses of the licensed material for online course reserves, course management systems, course packs, linking and making copies. For information about matters that are not covered by the Usage Rights Database, please refer to the Copyright Guide or the Copyright Guide for Thesis Preparation.
The Usage Rights Database is a work in progress and licensing information will be added to it on a continuous basis. Each license (covering a database or a package containing thousands of journal titles) falls into one of these categories:
- CRKN consortial licenses (negotiated at the national level)
- BCI consortial licenses (negotiated at the provincial level here in Quebec)
- Concordia licenses (our locally negotiated licenses)
If you have any questions or comments, we encourage you to contact your subject librarian.
