The publisher (CABI) support the concept of "Fair use" that permits limited use of copyrighted material without acquiring permission from the rights holders. This means that you may download, print or e-mail content for the purposes of research, teaching or private study to other authorized users, but not outside Lund University. Use in your own work: Users wishing to re-use articles or abstracts for purposes other than classroom or instructional use must contact CABI to obtain written permission: enquiries@cabi.org Course Packs: You are not allowed to create course packs, but authorized users may distribute printed parts of the licensed material for classroom or instructional use, referring to the "Fair use" rules. This means individual articles and other items in a reasonable number, not a complete ebook. Walk-in users: Users not affiliated with Lund University may be permitted access to CAB eBooks, but only within the physical premises of Lund University Libraries. |

The transaction may not be for Commercial Use (= ingen ekonomisk ersättning). By document is meant an individual chapter, an article or other single item, but not a complete ebook. |
