The access options to full-text articles are indicated by different coloured traffic light symbols. Many publishers regulate access to fee-based online journals by checking the IP address of the requesting computer.
If the licence conditions allow it, the ULB requests campus-wide access for the electronic journals in order to guarantee access from all computers in the Martin Luther University IP domain.
The following generally applies to paid full-text offers:
- Access is only permitted to members of Martin Luther University.
- The full texts of the articles may only be printed or saved for personal use and for research purposes.
- Systematic downloading of articles or search results is prohibited.
- Articles may not be passed on to third parties either electronically or in print.
