Terms of Use:

• The NCI-Frederick Scientific Library E-Z Proxy service allows NCI-Frederick employees off-site access to online resources licensed by the Scientific Library or those available to NCI-Frederick employees via the NIH Libraries Consortium license agreements.
  
  
• Whenever the Library purchases access to an online resource such as a database or an online journal, a license agreement must be signed. These agreements restrict access to Authorized Users (i.e. NCI-Frederick employees).
  
  
• NCI-Frederick employees will use their Library-issued Barcode Number, located on the back of your NCI-Frederick employee ID.  If you have a new NIH Badge you'll see a barcode on the back with a Personal Identifier ID number above it. You will use this 10 digit number anywhere a Barcode Number is required, but you must come to the Library to have it registered. Otherwise, you will not be authenticated properly when you need to use the Off-site access service.
  
  
• Such agreements typically stipulate that it is the responsibility of individual users to ensure that online resources are used for personal and/or educational non-commercial purposes without systematically downloading, printing, distributing, or retaining substantial portions. We ask you to respect the copyright of owners as well as any user restrictions that may be identified as you visit these resources. NCI-Frederick users are advised to read the Notice of Copyright / Use Restrictions for Electronic Resources Purchased by the NCI-Frederick Scientific Library posted on the Librarys web site.
  
  
• The Library reserves the right to terminate off-site use of the Librarys online resources should any unauthorized use be discovered, including sharing of privileges with non-authorized individuals.
  
  
• To use online resources from off-site, you must use the E-Z Proxy service to access licensed electronic resources if you use a third party Internet Service Provider (e.g. AOL, Earthlink) via DSL, cable, ISDN, or regular dial-up modem.
  
  

• To report problems accessing the databases from off-site, call (301) 846-5849 or e-mail NCIFredlibrary@mail.nih.gov. Please include in your e-mail your full name, the database you are trying to access, your library barcode number, or NIH Badge Number and a brief description of the problem. Note that older versions of Netscape or Internet Explorer are not recommended for use with off-site access.
