A-Z Databases

Database Use

Use of information in these resources is governed by the Ross Community Values and Academic Honor Code, as well as individual database vendor agreements. Kresge Library contracts with vendors to allow faculty, students, and staff to use these subscription databases for educational, personal and non-commercial purposes. As part of the agreement, both copyright and contract law apply.

According to the "fair use" clauses of U.S. copyright law, you may cite short excerpts in papers and reports for classroom and other academic uses if you also cite the source of the information (e.g. journal article). You may not use entire works for this purpose. When using information from these databases, properly cite and credit the source. If you have any questions about citing a particular resource, please contact us.
