The document discusses model licenses and license templates for present and future use. It provides examples of existing model licenses from various organizations and discusses emerging issues that may require new or revised standard language in licenses, such as auto-renewal terms, definitions of authorized users, and rights related to images, cloud hosting, and ensuring completeness of content. The document encourages libraries to work together by sharing what language is and isn't working in licenses to address new issues as a community.

4. • Stop hunting for that
wording you used once!
• Consistent verbiage
• Share with colleagues
• Use as checklist

5. CC: D Sharon Pruitt
The wheel has been invented: don’t start from scratch!
Consider Workflow, Access, Function to choose format
Review model licenses
Include institution-specific needs

12. WHEN EXCEPTIONS BECOME THE RULE

13. • Text Mining
• 3rd Party Usage Statistic Collection
• Cloud Hosting of Software
• Repositories
• Perpetual Access & Completeness
• Streaming Video (3rd party & self-hosting)
• Fair Use
• E-Reserves (perennial)
• E-Books
• Mobile Devices/Downloading
• More click-thru agreements
• More attention to ADA

14. We need to stop licensing in silos! How can
we share what’s not working & new sticky
issues with each other, as a community?

15. Do we need [new, revised]
standard language for…

16. Auto-renewal
• Should no auto-renewal be the new
standard?
• Instead of auto-renewal, how about:
This Agreement may be renewed upon mutual
agreement of the parties in writing.

18. Authorized Users Issues
• Alumni: Career Services resources giving
access; IT/University may grant alumni access
for 1 semester post-graduation; license some
resources for alumni use?
• New Vendors: Nervous about licensing to
libraries; different conceptions of “authorized
users”; protective; try to micromanager users

19. Ex: Non-Institutional Use
What the Heck?
• Non-institutional use
(including by faculty,
staff, affiliated researchers
and independent
contractors), including
those located at different
locations, but within
Licensee’s company or
related or affiliated
companies, shall not be
considered Authorized
Users.
Solution(ish)
• Use is limited to
educational, scientific,
and research
purposes for
Licensee’s institution.
All other uses are
prohibited.

20. New Issues w/ Authorized Uses
• Absurd micromanagement
• Loss of rights
• Requirement to over-specify specific uses
• New uses/rights
– Repository rights *NERL
– Text mining *NERL, LM
– Use on websites/promotional materials
– More complicated archival/preservation needs
– Rip -> Stream on Secure Server
– Cloud Hosting/Distribution

21. New Standard Needed?
Images, Promotional Use
• When license e-
resource w/images, do
we need to specify that
images can be used on
websites & in
promotional materials,
as well as for
educational use/class
presentations?
• Authorized Users
(NOTE: no walk-ins)
can use images from
Licensed Materials on
university websites, in
emails, and within
news publications to
promote events,
services, and resources
as long as the product
containing the image is
not sold [for
commericial use/profit].

22. Licensing Images for Locked-Down
Tablets…Is this a new thing?
Additionally, Licensee will have the
capability to download and store the images
onto devices within their lab. The devices
and images will be in a secured
environment, and will allow for no
additional wifi access, printing, copying or
transmission of any sort. These images will
be view-only. These images will be subjected
to the same rules as referenced in 2.4 of this
document.

23. Backup Copies of Mp4s:
108c is not your friend!
“The right to archive under subsection (c) (for
published works) applies only to replacement
of a damaged, deteriorating, lost or stolen copy,
or when the format of the recording has
become obsolete, and then only when a
reasonable effort to locate an unused
replacement at a fair price or a device that
accommodates the format has proven
unsuccessful!” - Copyright Crash Course,
“Copyright in the Library - Making Copies:
Archiving”, Georgia Harper, Univ. of Texas
Libraries

24. …but how to say…?
Licensee is authorized to make such further copies in
perpetuity as it may deem necessary for purposes of
archival preservation, refreshing, or migration, including
migration to other formats, so long as the purpose of
such copying is solely for continued use and/or archival
retention of the data and does not violate or extend the
use rights contained in this Agreement. (NERL)
The Licensor shall allow the Licensee to participate in the
archiving of one complete copy of the Licensed
Materials, and to use such archived Licensed Materials in
the event the original copy is scratched, broken, or
otherwise made unplayable in the normal course of use.
(Alternative?)

25. Do our completeness of content
clauses need more teeth?

26. Defining Reasonable Amount
• Vendor: “Reasonable Amount” shall mean
not more than 10% of the content contained
in the Licensed Materials.
• Proposal: The term “reasonable” as it relates to
amounts of licensed material subject to copying,
duplication, or dissemination by licensee and its
users will be determined on a case by case basis
using the four Fair Use analysis factors as
codified at 17 United States Code Sec. 107.

27. Licensee can distribute the software via a
cloud platform to workstations located on
the primary and satellite campuses, with
appropriate security ensuring that access is
not granted to other locations or
institutions.
Cloud Platform Distribution

28. Clinging on to single-site.

30. And be 5’3” feet tall with red hair…
Authorized Users must be those users who
are using the Licensed Materials for
legitimate educational purposes, whether as
a mental health professional in training or as
part of other relevant Licensee-approved
educational courses or assignments.

31. The Licensee shall encourage Authorized
Users to view the Licensed Materials in as
private an environment as possible, and out
of sight or hearing range of unauthorized
users as reasonably practical.

32. The Licensed Materials are composed of streaming
video. The transcripts of the verbal video content are
made available only as an aid to facilitate use and
comprehension of the video content and shall not be
considered the equivalent of a book, journal or other
print product. As a result, by this Agreement, the
Parties agree that such transcript text included in the
Licensed Materials is not primary reading material
nor intended for use as primary reading material
and as such may not be copied in whole or in part
under Fair Use provisions.

33. for each Online Product, copy and paste one chapter of
each title in the collection in question, or up to 5% of
the pages from the total collection, whichever is the
greater, for personal use only, during any given four-
week period, unless otherwise stated in the Terms of
Use for that particular Online Product;
(iii) for each Online Product, make printed copies of
one chapter or up to 20% of the pages from the total
collection, whichever is greater, for personal use,
during any given four-week period, unless otherwise
stated in the Terms of Use for that particular Online
Product.

34. Allow Authorised Users to download the Online
Products to a maximum of 5 hand held devices for
their personal use only provided that the limits
detailed in clause 3(b) below continue to apply.
Notwithstanding the above, whilst the Publisher
permits the use detailed in this sub-clause (v), You
and Authorised Users acknowledge that the
Publisher makes no warranty as to the Online
Product(s)’s suitability for or use on such hand
held devices and the Publisher expressly excludes
all liability towards You and Authorised Users in
the event that the Online Products do not function
properly or at all on such hand held devices

35. Help with LIBLICENSE, Licensing Models?
How? What’s needed and/or what’s not working?
Shared collection of exceptional clauses?
How can we work together instead of each alone?
