Revision to Action for Challenge 4 Licensing Principles (formerly Publisher Relations)
Revision to Action for Challenge 4 Licensing Principles *
Challenge statement: Negotiate collectively with publishers on the best possible access to e-content. *
Licensing Principles. Research libraries will make every effort to sign no licenses that include non-disclosure clauses, and to share among themselves the terms of agreements with all publishers. Public universities shall publicly post licenses and business terms on their Web sites. Research libraries will make every effort to ensure that licenses include such options as the right to use publications with course management software, the right to use publications for e-reserve, the right to fulfill ILL requests according to existing ILL guidelines and the right of authors to retain copyright and make their publications available in open access repositories or other archives. Research libraries will make every effort to ensure that licenses include provisions for perpetual access and archival deposit of licensed content.
* Challenge 4 renamed from “Publisher Relations” to “Licensing Principles” and challenge statement wording changed from “notification sources” to “e-content”.
