About Licensed Resources

The Library Catalog is an index to materials owned and licensed by the Dartmouth College Library; these materials include electronic journals, digital texts and internet databases. Due to licensing agreements, many digital resources have a variety of access requirements. For example, a digital resource may be restricted to members of the Dartmouth College community; another resource may only allow access from a specific machine in a specified physical location.
