Remember the rules of use when using the library's e-materials

The terms and conditions related to the individual resources determine the use of e-resources. There is a separate summary of the terms and conditions for the FinELib resources.

If e-material service providers detect activity that violates their terms of use, they may prevent the user from accessing that material in the future. During this early autumn, several violations of the terms of use have already occurred (e.g. mass printing of pdf files), due to which users have had to be prevented.
