When you use e-journals, a large volume access in a short period of time is strictly prohibited by contract with publishers, academic societies, etc.
Violation of this rule may result in the loss of access to those journals for the entire Okayama University.

　In recent years, a large volume access to e-journals have frequently occurred due to the pre-reading function of web browsers.
The function may repeatedly access certain documents in the background for a short period of time even if the user does not intend to use this function. The provider may consider it as a large volume access to e-journals and temporarily suspend access from entire Okayama University.

When using e-journals, please disable this function by referring to the following.
