Solved! (2023.12.15)

Kyoto University has been blocked from accessing content on the ACS Publications website due to an excessive download violation since 11:00 a.m. on December 7.
We are currently requesting ACS to remove blocking.

If you are unable to access ACS contents via the authentication system, please review the following PDF (campus only).

Publishers of e-journals and e-books are prohibited from accessing all pages, not only the full text, but also the table of contents and abstracts, with excessive frequency, thus overloading the servers.
If excessive access or large downloads are detected, penalties such as blocking access to e-journals from the entire university will be imposed by publisher.

Please read the "[Library Network] Conditions of Use and Licensing Restrictions for E-Resources" announced on December 1, and review the settings of your browser and reference management tool plug-ins.

[Library Network] Conditions of Use and Licensing Restrictions for E-Resources

On 2023-12-01 (4384 reads)

Use of electronic resources including databases, e-journals and e-books subscribed by Kyoto University is subject to copyright laws and licence agreements.
The licences generally prohibit the following uses:

Systematic and programmatic download
Usage beyond the private purpose
Reproducing and distributing

Violation of the licence agreements may result in the suspension of access to e-resources for the whole University. Please be aware that access may also be blocked on a per-user basis due to the authentication system.

There have been frequent recent occurrences of users unintentionally downloading or accessing large volumes of data using pre-read browser functions. Pre-read browser functions continually access links within pages in the background while pages are being viewed. As a result of this, large volume data downloads or large volume access of which the user is unaware may occur, even if the user intends to use electronic journals in the standard way. We request your cooperation in disabling these functions by making the below changes to your browser settings.
