[Yulwww] e-resources appropriate use statement

[Kimberly Parker]

PIC recently approved a short statement with a link to a longer document 
that Ann Okerson and I composed outlining the general expectations for 
appropriate use of our licensed electronic resources.  The intent of the 
short header statement and the longer document is to provide guidance for 
our readers who may not know to or feel inclined to go review the specific 
permitted uses of a particular resource.

The short statement with link is now visible from the "master" lists of 
e-resources on the front door (ejournal, databases, etc.)  My next goal is 
to have it included on subject specific webpages as well.

I will be happy to work with any of you who have Yelmo/dbow/ejournals 
headers and footers for your subject pages to include the statement in an 
aesthetically pleasing location for your page headers.

However, I know there are a number of units that have lists of electronic 
resources that they build outside the YELMO/DBOW, etc. environment. (e.g. 
Arts Library or Social Sciences Library).

So, by this same message, I'm requesting that those pages also be reviewed 
for the possible inclusion of the below text.

Thanks for your help with this effort and I'll be happy to answer any 
questions people have.

[For the curious, this effort is becoming more important as we get regular 
report of license "breaches".  For the most part, the breaches are 
technical holes in our network which we can plug and move on from, but 
occasionally we get "true" reader abuses of our e-resources, and it will 
become increasingly important to be able to say "THIS is where we've told 
you that you cannot do that."]
