The King's University licenses a large number of electronic resources including research databases, e-journals, and e-books. Access to these resources is governed by license agreements with resource providers. The agreements specify the groups of individuals who can access the electronic resources (generally limited to employees and current students) and they place restrictions on the uses that can be made of the resources.
Best practice is share resources through a link rather the posting a PDF copy.
You may not:
To discover the permitted uses of an entire research database or e-book collection, search for the title of the database here.
For example:
Note: if the article is not full text in the database you searched but you link out through the 'Linked Full Text' icon or through 'Where Can I Get This?' to the full text, that article is found in a different resource and is thus subject to a different license that may have different permitted uses.
