摘要:With electronic database licenses, there are terms you want and terms you need, and plenty has been written about both. For example, AALL’s Principles for Licensing Electronic Resources provides exceptional guidance— all incredibly useful for someone learning the ropes. (These principles are currently under revision, with the Library Procurement Process Improvements Task Force paying particular attention to new developments in vendor licensing practices and recommending model language for basic licensing provisions.) Similarly, Duncan Alford’s Negotiating and Analyzing Electronic License Agreements provides useful point-by-point insights into license terms.
