What do the License or Terms of Use definitions mean?
Answer
The majority of VIU Library's online content comes from different vendors, and the licenses terms for these resources vary. In an effort to communicate what is allowed for each resource, we have added public-facing License or Terms of Use information. The definitions below may help you understand how you can use the resource. If you have any questions, please contact library@viu.ca.
