The licensed electronic resources made available by the RFK Memorial Library are for
research, instruction, and related activities of current University of Guam students,
faculty, staff, and other authorized users. U.S. Copyright Law (including the protections
of “fair use”) and contractual license agreements govern the access, use, and reproduction
of these resources. Authorized users may access such resources for noncommercial,
educational, scholarly and research purposes. Prohibited actions generally include:
Sharing of passwords or authorized access codes
Large-scale systematic downloading of articles or other information
Use of robots, spiders or intelligent agents to access, search and/or systematically
download content
Posting copyrighted materials on a publicly accessible web site
Resale or commercial exploitation of licensed information
Please be aware:
Sharing an access password with unauthorized users— including family, friends, or
co-workers— may result in suspension or revocation of library privileges. Non-affiliated
users may, however, access most electronic library resources from computer terminals
in a campus library.
Downloading entire issues of electronic journals, or attempting to create large databases
from bibliographic files, is generally prohibited by publisher license agreements.
Systematic downloading of content— manually or with specialized software— is detectable
by publishers and traceable to specific computer addresses.
Engaging in actions intended to circumvent or defeat access control mechanisms of
the Library or information provider may result in revocation of library privileges
and other campus or civil disciplinary measures.
