Authentication
When SIRE is activated, the UB authentication page will appear, where you must authenticate yourself as a member of the UB (with UB or local identifier).
Disconnection
The session automatically ends after an hour of inactivity.
The session can also be disconnected by entering this URL: http://sire.ub.edu/logout
If a massive download (more than 2 GB in less than 1 hour) is done, the system blocks the user.
Remember that the use of electronic resources is only authorized for academic purposes, not for profit or professional activities outside the University.
The terms and conditions of use must be accepted once per year.
