Copyright and licensing
Electronic Books
Our proxy server makes it possible for students to use these e-books even when not physically at Hanken.
Search e-books
1. in the search portal Hanna Opens in new window by narrowing your search with "E-books" or
2. directly in the e-book collections Opens in new window
Check the license!
From experience, we know that e-books with single user license in Hanna are poorly suited as course books. If you still want to use such an e-book for your course, please, contact the library so that we may investigate the possibility of extending the license.
Questions about e-books? Please, contact

Copying Licence for Educational Use
Using Kopiostos copying licence Opens in new window you are allowed to scan printed publications and copy text and images from open websites. The licence applies to both domestic and foreign materials. Only scanned chapters/articles need to be notified to Kopiosto. If they are in Hanken's databases, you must link directly to the article/chapter.
With text and images, the licence allows you to
- Photocopy: 20 pages per publication, a maximum of half of the publication.
- Scan:
- 20 pages per publication, a maximum of 20 % of the publication.
- A scientific article published in a scientific journal in its entirety.
- Print out from the Internet: 20 pages per digital source.
- Copy and save legally and freely available online material:
- 20 images or A4-sized pages per website.
- A scientific article published in a scientific journal in its entirety.
- 20 pages per e-book; a maximum of 20 % of the e-book.
The digital copies have to be reported to Kopiosto. As a teacher you can do this yourself at Kopiosto's web page Opens in new window (reporting service only in Finnish). Please contact the library if you need any help: library@hanken.fi.
The digital licence is an agreement made by Arene (Rectors' Conference of Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences), UNIFI (Universities Finland) and Kopiosto (Finnish Copyright Society).
Links to Articles and Ebooks
License agreements with database suppliers usually don't permit redistribution. This means that uploading digital copies (i.e. pdf-files of articles) to Moodle is not allowed, even if password protected. Instead you should give the permanent link to the article, proceeded by the address to Hanken's proxy server. By doing this you will ensure:
- to use the e-resources legally and in accordance with the license agreements
- to give the student's remote access to the articles
- to give correct database user statistics to the library.
Construct the permanent links as follows:
1. Start with the Hanken proxy server address as a prefix, in order to make the articles accessible also as remote access out of the Hanken building
NOTE! Links to e-books on the ProQuest Ebook Central and VitalSource Bridge platforms should not have a proxy prefix since the services have Shibboleth login.
2. Add the permanent link to the article. In some databases (EBSCO) the permanent link is called permalink. You can just copy the permalink and add it to the prefix.
The permanent link is also often a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) number. The DOI number is constructed of a prefix http://dx.doi.org/ followed by a set of numbers
The library is happy to help with compiling reading material lists with links to the sources.
You can also scan printed publications and copy text and images from open websites.

library@hanken.fi

In the library's LibGuide on Copyright you find information about how you are allowed to use different kind of materials in your teaching.
