             Usage Policy      

1. Electronic resources such as e-journals, e-books etc. made available by the PRL Library, are for academic use.

2. 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.

3. Use of robots, spiders or intelligent agents to access, search and/or systematically download from these resources is also prohibited.

4. Please be aware that systematic downloading will cause the publisher to block the entire community of users @ PRL from accessing these resources.

5. The licensed materials are available to PRL staff members over the Internet through the use of Domain name(s) or IP addresses of PRL.

6. PRL believes in protecting the rights of authors and therefore, library resources are accessible as per provisions made under the copyright act.
