Purpose and Scope

This section outlines key copyright and licensing requirements to ensure that all library users comply with applicable legislation and the terms of licensed e-resources.

License Agreements

The Library subscribes to a wide range of e-resources to support teaching, learning, and research. Access to these resources is governed by legally binding license agreements that specify how e-resources (including e-databases, e‑journals, e‑books, and other digital content) may be accessed, used, and reproduced.

Copyright

Terms & Conditions of Use

Authorized users must ensure that their use of licensed e-resources is ethical, lawful, and fully compliant with the terms of use specified by each publisher.

Authorized Users

Access to licensed e-resources is restricted to current TWC students and staff.

Prohibited Uses

In accordance with the copyright regulations, users may download, save, or print reasonable portions of text, search results, and other information from the Library’s online resources for studying, teaching, and research purposes. However, the following activities are strictly prohibited:

Using online resources for any commercial or non-academic purposes
Excessive or systematic downloading of content
Sharing personal login credentials with unauthorized users
Redistributing licensed content to individuals who are not authorized users
Using spider, crawler, or other automated programmes to harvest or capture data

Consequences of Misuse of Electronic Resources

Violations of license agreements may result in the suspension or termination of access to e-resources for the entire campus community. Such misconduct may also lead to disciplinary action in accordance with relevant College policies and procedures.

Disclaimer

Users are responsible for ensuring that licensed e-resources are used strictly for educational purposes. The Library is not liable for any unlawful, inappropriate, or unauthorized use of e-resources by users.
