The UPF library only contracts electronic information resources for academic purposes, and therefore, they are not to be used for lucrative purposes or to carry out any professional activity outside the University.
The contract licences for these resources only allow access to members of the UPF university community: short and long degree students, teaching staff and researchers, as well as administrative and service staff. Any other person interested in consulting the electronic resources must address to the information desk at any Library site.
On the other hand, remember that when using these resources, you shall at all times take intellectual property rights into account. That is to say, you must not violate their normal use or harm the legitimate interests of the holders of said rights. Thus, for example, copying electronic resources in full is not permitted, and neither may you copy substantial parts thereof, and, when citing materials taken from these resources, the source shall be mentioned.
