Accessing Digital Libraries via a Remote Computer
Question
With God’s help,
Hello Rabbi,
I study at Lev Academic Center, and they have free databases there that automatically identify you through the Wi‑Fi as being connected on behalf of Lev Academic Center to those databases.
I wanted to ask: can I use remote access to view that content while I am, for example, at home?
Like Otzar HaHochma, the Responsa Project, and so on.
Answer
I didn’t understand the question. If you study at Lev Academic Center, then that’s what it is intended for, no? Has Lev Academic Center defined that these databases may be used only from the institute itself and not from home?
