Appropriate Use of E-Journals and E-Books

When using electronic resources such as e-journals and e-books, please note that publishers and providers specify their own terms of use.
If the terms of use or other regulations are violated, access may be suspended not only for the individual or laboratory concerned, but for the entire university.
When using electronic resources, please comply strictly with copyright laws and the provider’s terms of use, and use the resources appropriately.

Main Prohibited Activities
*Please be aware that violating the following rules may result in access suspension by publishers. In such cases, the university may investigate the usage history of the individual involved.

Mass Downloading and Excessive Access to Content

Automated downloading is a violation of terms of use.
Examples of Automated Downloading:
・Use of search robots, automatic download software, etc.
・Crawling or other automated processes to extract text or other content from websites

There is no library-defined threshold for what constitutes “mass” downloading. However, even if done manually, downloading all articles from a single issue of a journal — in a comprehensive or systematic manner — may be flagged by the publisher or content provider and subject to investigation.
Please ensure that your downloads and access are limited to what is necessary for your learning and research.

The use of automatic download features included in reference management tools (such as EndNote, PaperPile, Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, etc.) or browser settings that load content in advance may result in unintended high-volume access.
This could be interpreted as mass downloading and lead to suspension of access.
Please check your software and browser settings to avoid such issues.

※Automatic Download and Access Features in Reference Management Tools
　When switching or migrating between reference management tools for personal use, using features such as “Auto-Update All Records” may trigger simultaneous access to all registered articles. This kind of access has, in some cases, been detected as unauthorized use.
Additionally, when reference management tools are linked with cloud services, files may be automatically downloaded simply by registering article metadata, without any manual action by the user.
　Such usage may violate the prohibited activities outlined above. Therefore, please update article information and download files only for the specific items you need, and avoid performing bulk operations.

※About pre-read browser functions
　Recently, unintentional excessive downloading has been observed due to pre-read browser functions.
　Page preloading functions automatically access links within a page in the background while the page is being viewed. As a result, unintentional excessive downloading may occur, even when users are accessing electronic journals in a normal way.
　By making the below changes to your browser settings, you can disable these functions.
