Copies of such items shall be deleted by the Member when they are no longer used for such purpose and or at the end of each course including the examination period and all related course work each school year. Course packs in non-electronic non-print perceptible form, such as audio or Braille, may also be offered to Authorized Users who, in the reasonable opinion of the Member, are visually impaired. Course packs will include only the link to the Ovid delivered content and articles cannot be downloaded and held in course packs due to licensing restrictions between Ovid and the content providers and publishers.”

Regarding EBSCO licensing in general, the following guidelines apply:

• EBSCO Publishing does not have any intellectual property rights in the full text content included in the databases other than the right to include these articles in the databases. The intellectual property rights in the articles are controlled by the publisher. Users must abide by Copyright Act of 1976 as well as any contractual restrictions, copyright restrictions, or other restrictions provided by publishers and specified in the products.
• With regard to electronic reserves, authorized users are allowed to use EBSCOhost articles for electronic reserves as long as they comply with copyright law, the policy of the subscribing library and the copyright statement within an individual record. Generally, it is acceptable to use one article per issue and to put it on electronic reserve for only one semester. Using more than one article per issue, or using an article for more than one semester, would require permission from the publisher.
• With regard to course packs, customers may not use EBSCOhost content for course packs unless permission is first obtained from the publisher.
• With regard to interlibrary loan, EBSCOhost products may be used for ILL unless ILL is specifically prohibited by the publisher in the copyright statement within an individual record.
