== E-Resources ==


==== Guidelines for Fair Use of e-Resources at IIT Delhi : Usage Policy ====
The Central Library provides access to a wide range of electronic resources:
 
* * *
 
Electronic resources such as e-journals, e-databases, e-books made available by the Central Library, IIT Delhi are for academic use.
 
These resources can be searched, browsed and material may be downloaded and printed as single copies of articles as is done in the case of printed library material. Downloading or printing of a complete book or an entire issue or a volume of one or more journals (called systematic downloading) is strictly prohibited.
 
Use of robots, spiders or intelligent agents to access, search and/or systematically download from these resources is also prohibited. Any violation of this policy will result in penal action as per the rules and regulations of the Institute.
 
Please be aware that systematic downloading will cause the publisher to block to the entire community of users @ IIT Delhi from accessing these resources.
 
The Central Library subscribes thousands of E-Resources directly through the publishers and eSS Consortium. The terms and conditions for using these resources are spelled out in electronic resource license agreements with each publisher. It is the responsibility of individual users to ensure that the use of electronic resources does not breach the terms and conditions specified in the license agreements. Licenses vary from publisher to publisher; however, the general principles are as follows:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
|-
|-
! Permitted !! Not Permitted
! Resource Type !! Examples
|-
|-
| Viewing, downloading, copying, printing and saving a copy of search results || Use of robots or intelligent agents to do systematic, bulk or automatic downloading is not permitted
| '''E-Journal Databases''' || IEEE Xplore, Springer, Elsevier ScienceDirect, Wiley, ACM Digital Library, JSTOR
|-
|-
| Viewing, downloading, copying, printing and saving individual articles || Systematic downloading or printing of entire journal issues or volumes, or large portions of other e-resources is not permitted
| '''E-Book Platforms''' || Cambridge Core, Springer eBooks, Pearson, McGraw-Hill
|-
|-
| Using e-resources for scholarly, educational or scientific research, teaching, private study and clinical purposes || Using e-resources for commercial gain is not permitted (i.e. reselling, redistributing or republishing licensed content)
| '''Citation Databases''' || Web of Science, Scopus
|-
|-
| Sending a copy of an article to another authorized user (i.e. current faculty, students or staff) || Transmitting, disseminating or otherwise making online content available to unauthorized users (i.e. sending to mailing lists or electronic bulletin boards) is not permitted
| '''Standards''' || BIS, ASTM, ISO (via subscriptions)
|-
|-
| Posting the URL to the publisher's version of the article on a class website (publisher links will allow only authorized users access) || Posting the publisher's version or PDF of an article to an open class website is not permitted (instead, post the URL to the article which will allow only authorized users access)
| '''Others''' || PressReader (newspapers/magazines), QuillBot Premium, CMIE databases
|}
|}


Breaches of the license agreement with publishers could result in the suspension of access to the resources for the member institutions.
=== Off-Campus Access ===
IIT Delhi provides off-campus access to subscribed e-resources through an institutional proxy/VPN system. Students and faculty can access journals and databases from outside the campus network.
