E-materials

• e-resources (e-books, e-articles and e-journals, databases) are accessed with Haaga-Helia's user ID (HAKA login). Exceptions are instructed in connection with the database.

The e-materials offered in the network of Haaga-Helia solely intended for use by Haaga-Helia students and staff for personal study and research purposes. Secondary use of materials is not permitted.

Typically, the conditions of use cover the following:

• How and for what purpose the e-material may be used
• Who may use the material
• The physical location (place of use) where the material may be used
• How the material can be copied, printed, etc.
• In general, the conditions of use exclude all commercial purposes

The user is always responsible for reading the conditions of use, and they must be read before using the e-material in question. Copyright legislation does not recognise the concept of “good faith" (i.e. if a person does not know or hasn't read the content of the conditions of use, it does not relieve him/her from liability for the misuse or unlicensed use of the material).
