We have an institutional subscription, who in our institution is entitled to online access?
Much as the hard copy of the journal is made available to every one on campus, so is the online version. Providing the journals are accessed via terminals on your site and under the control of the subscribing institution, all members (employees, faculty, staff and students) of the institution are entitled to access. We do not support off-site access for staff and students.
What are the terms and conditions of use?
Although we do not require institutions to sign a formal license, online access is subject to the following terms and conditions:
Use of the electronic versions of the journals should be for educational purposes only, not for resale or commercial gain For multiple use of articles or when compiling course packs, please gain permission for the article's use from Marilyn Cresswell email: m.cresswell@manchester.ac.uk. Single copies of articles may be downloaded, stored on a PC or printed out. No dissemination of articles to individuals who are not members of the institution should take place. All reasonable efforts should be made to ensure that members of the subscribed institution are aware of, and abide by, these conditions of us.
Once we have online access, can we download and print full text articles?
All articles appear as full text (PDF format) online and single copies can be downloaded, stored on a PC and printed off.
