New site licences for Digimap

From the 1st of August 2018, all Digimap Collections (except Aerial & Lidar Digimap) will start new licences. This means when you access Digimap for the first time after this date you will need to agree to the new licences before you can access the platform.

This process will only happen once a year, so you will not be asked to do this everytime you log in. You don’t need to re-register any of your details, just follow the on screen prompts and agree to the new licences for each Collection.

All saved maps and download history will remain and won’t be affected by this process.

The use of content from this service is outlined in the Educational User Licence which can be found at:

http://digimap.edina.ac.uk/webhelp/os/copyright/licence_agreement.htm

Licence FAQs can be found here.

If you require any further help or clarification about the use of the data for Educational purposes, please contact Digimap via:

Additional library support and accessing Digimap can found on our helpguide.
