The UW Libraries contracts with a variety of vendors and publishers to
provide you with hundreds of electronic resources costing millions of dollars per year. In addition to paying for these resources, the Libraries typically negotiates license agreements that stipulate how and by whom they may be used. If license terms are violated by anyone, licensors usually haven the right to temporarily suspend access FOR THE ENTIRE UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY! In some cases, licenses can be permanently revoked.
You can help prevent problems with our electronic resource providers by
adhering to "good practice" and avoiding improper use. These guidelines are
available at: http://www.lib.washington.edu/cms/usageguidelines.html
