Recently an attempt was made through the UW campus system to systematically download the entire contents of an extremely expensive, and critical clinical information resource. This action is illegal and almost resulted in the loss of access to this resource for the entire UW community. Fortunately, it was detected and steps taken to prevent it.
It is critical that all users in the UW community understand that any attempt to systematically download any University of Washington contracted resources violates our contracts and can result in termination of the resource. PLEASE USE OUR RESOURCES RESPONSIBLY.
If you have questions about what is and is not acceptable, please refer to the UW Libraries Electronic Resources Usage Guidelines or contact one of the librarians.
