Most periodical database licenses are based on a university’s FTE and give permission to current members of the university community for on-site use or remote access in a pass-word controlled setting. Interlibrary loan provisions, if included in the contract agreements, vary from one database to another. Lending libraries have to check their licences and may not be able to lend materials (e.g., send copies of journal articles) if there are contract restrictions.
