Terms of use for e-re­sources

Ac­cess op­tions

HNU members can access all e-books on campus, both at stationary PCs and at their own devices via WLAN. They can get off-campus access, too. 

External library users can read all e-books at the research stations in the library entrance hall. They can print small parts of an e-book, but they may not forward electronic full texts, neither via e-mail nor via pen drives or the like.

Terms of use

When using electronic books, journals or database contents, please respect the corresponding copyright conditions of the respective publisher or editor (commonly found on their websites). Using e-resources requires complying with these conditions.

The following guidelines apply to all e-resources:

  • Access is granted only for members of the licensing institution and, within the rooms of the licensing institution, for walk-in-users. 
  • Full texts may only be copied or printed for personal and/or scholarly use.
  • Systematic downloading of articles, chapters or search results, especially by robots, is strictly forbidden. Please note: Violating this condition may result in immediate campus-wide blocking of the respective domain.
  • Articles/chapters must not be forwarded to third parties, neither electronic copies nor printed copies.
  • Commercial utilization of research results is strictly forbidden.
