Dear Ma'am

The universal rules of copyright are very limited and deep, states only to give the credits to owner of the content.  Now in the scenario of digital content collection and access, the policy of copyright differs and varies from vendor to vendor. 

As we sign the agreement of databases, we reserved the rights as a subscriber to provide the links of resources to official members of Institute by any mode of email, website, blogs etc. All the official members of Institute are eligible to avail the services. In agreement it is mentioned that all the official members of Institute at present and expected in future are eligible for getting the benefits of the said product/services. 

Kindly read the particular clause of your agreement where the description of users are mentioned and also kindly read the rights of subscriber. If it accommodating the points which you have raised, then its fine or you can communicate with the vendor to update the license as per your requirement.

Ma'am you can modify the license as per your possibilities. Because copyright rules will not be more authoritative once you have signed the agreement. Agreement paper itself is a kind of legal document for future and main source of remedies of problems in future (if any).

Thanking You...

Dear Ms. bajaj,

If you have static IP address ask your vendors to encrypt your IP and by that way, you will be able to get access through that IP only. However, in case you want to give access to your staff at located in your branch/regional offices in different cities, collect their static IPs and negotiate with vendors with tentative number of users at a time. For example, if you have 6 officers at different locations and altogether have 1500 users, and if you calculate that around 30% of them (meaning 450 in all) use the e materials simultaneously, you should negotiate encryption for maximum 500 users with 6 different IPs. However, in this case your users can not access the e-materials beyond those encrypted IP addresses(like from their home or field stations located in places other than the above 6 locations)

Another way is to get login ID & password. It will enable your users access 24/7 irrespective of geographic locations.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta

Sir,

Thanks for guidance. Sir, please tell if I purchased that for IP address and upload the same in Libsys software through multimedia, and that will be available throughout Indianoil through libsys. Will there be any violation of law. Of course we will restrict it use only for reading purpose.

Please guide.

With sincere regards,

 You must see first whether it is perputal acess or online and you have ask the publisher whether we  can print , download and view  on   any number  of systems.  If it is  perputal access we share it on all the systems and connect it through campus LAN .  There is no problem.  we have the right and we  are owners of the e-book
