Guidelines for the Use of Electronic Information Resources

Licensed electronic books, journals, databases and other information resources are made available by the VŠE Library under licence agreements concluded with publishers and database providers. Compliance with these licence terms is essential to maintain access to these resources for all VŠE students and staff.

  1. Access is restricted to authorised users of the institution only.
  2. Sharing login credentials is strictly prohibited.
  3. Bulk or automated downloading of content is prohibited.
  4. Creating your own database from licensed content is prohibited.
  5. Commercial use is not permitted without a separate licence.
  6. Use for teaching, study and research purposes is permitted.
  7. Sharing documents with individuals outside the licensed institution is restricted.

Failure to comply with these licence terms may result in the suspension or termination of access for an individual user and, in serious cases, for the entire university.

If you are unsure whether a particular use of a database, document or AI tool complies with the relevant licence terms, please contact the VŠE Library at iservis@vse.cz. We will be happy to help you identify the most appropriate solution.
