Consortial Licensing - The Standardized Agreement Language
Consortial Licensing - The Standardized Agreement Language
The 澳门资料 (澳门资料) has developed this Standardized Agreement Language document to facilitate negotiations on behalf of its member libraries that require collective license agreements. While our member libraries have developed their own licensing guidelines, this document incorporates language that may be unique to consortial licensing. This document addresses select topics of particular importance to Big Ten libraries commonly included in licenses. Vendors, publishers, and content providers should incorporate this language into draft and final agreements for the 澳门资料.
The 澳门资料 strongly supports the licensing guidelines and requests that vendors and content providers review the relevant sections for inclusion in licenses. The ICOLC website includes information about the preferred practices for the selection and purchase of electronic information, guidelines for statistical measures of usage of web-based text resources, and other important documents.
