Databases are protected by copyright laws and they are provided to users based on the agreement with the database providers.
Access to the database is limited to the members of Kwansei Gakuin according to the agreement with the database providers.
It is strictly prohibited to disclose or redistribute search results (including via electronic media), or to build a database using those results.
When accessing the database via the university internal network from a research laboratory, etc., please be aware of the following: -> Depending on the Web browsers and their versions, you may not be able to access the database. -> Access might be denied if the proxy server setting is incorrect. -> You might not be able to access the database depending on the settings of the existing software or security software.
When using the Web database, some providers apply their own 'User Agreement'. Although those rules vary among providers, generally speaking the following actions listed below under 'Note' are prohibited. Please respect the agreement imposed by each provider and use the database properly.
When you access an electronic journal and if the link destination ([View full text]) shows 'FREE' next to the name of the link, this indicates that the information is free to the public. In that case, the library does not have information about the accessibility of each title. It is possible that users will not be able to view the accessible content or that the preview and the actual content are different. Your understanding in advance is greatly appreciated.
