Japanese Studies Research Guide: E-resource Terms of Use

Reference and research resources in Japanese

How much can you download or print?

When you are using e-resources, please follow the download/print limit specified by individual databases.

For example, Japanese eBook databases available for Columbia users have the limit information like below either on the detailed record screen or download/print screen:

出力可能ページ:60

新規ご購入後のDL可否  可(10ページ)

These numbers are the limit of downloadable/printable pages PER ITEM, PER PERSON. It DOESN'T mean per session or per access.

For example, if the ebook you are reading says 出力可能ページ:60, you can download 20 pages today and additional 40 pages the next day. After that, you may not download/print a single page because you have reached the limit for downloadable/printable pages per item per person.

Please follw each individual database's terms of use. Your action may impact the future use of the database by the entire Columbia users.
