>
> WORLD WIDE WEB ELECTRONIC CONTENT LICENSING RESOURCE AVAILABLE FOR
> ACADEMIC LIBRARY COMMUNITY
>
>
> The Yale University Library, with support from the Commission on
> Preservation and access & the Council on Library Resources, is pleased to
> announce the availability of the beta version of LIBLICENSE, a World Wide
> Web resource intended to provide information and assistance for academic
> and research libraries as they read and negotiate licenses with
> information providers for electronic information content in a variety of
> formats, CD and online.
>
> The LIBLICENSE URL is:
>
> http://www.library.yale.edu/~Llicense/index.shtml
>
> The creators are requesting comments in order to enhance and improve the
> work. Once a more final version is achieved, the URL will be slightly
> changed. Currently, readers will see an annotated resource presented in
> much the same organizational style as an actual electronic content
> license, with samples of language and commentary on the suitability of
> that language for libraries. Readers will note that links to some
> sections are pretty much completed (license vocabulary, licensing terms &
> descriptions, examples); other sections will be further enhanced
> (introduction, licensing resources, bibliography).
>
> The creators welcome all your ideas, as well as suggestions for additions
> to links and bibliographic citations.
>
> Several individuals have been involved in creating this resource:
>
> Ann Okerson, PI for the Project, Yale University Library (Associate
> University Librarian for Collection Development & Management)
>
> Rod Stenlake, Esq., Consulting and authoring contract attorney (formerly
> in corporate practice in New York City; now a Visiting Scholar at the Yale
> University Law School)
>
> Georgia Harper, Esq., External consultant and author (Copyright Counsel
> for the University of Texas Systemwide)
>
> Alex Adelman, Web Designer (Senior English student at the University of
> Pennsylvania.
>
> A form is provided within the LIBLICENSE resource for your comments.
>
> A content licensing discussion list has been started to accompany this
> site. See separate message.
