[Eril-l] posting broad license terms for users

[Pennington, Buddy D.]

We do something similar to UC-Berkely.

It is posted in the Spaces & Technology section of our policies.

Berkeley uses a similar page on our site:
Conditions of Use and Licensing Restrictions for Electronic Resources
http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/about/conditions-of-use-for-electronic-resources

I know at least one place this is linked to is under our "Library Policies" section.

Hi collective wisdom,

In order to make users aware of restrictions regarding use of licensed resources, I am brainstorming where to post a few sentences about general terms of use.  Here’s where I am thinking:

•         Research databases page (short, general blurb 1-2 sentences about how these are licensed for academic, non-commercial use, copyright law, etc.) Would be really curious to see your wording for this if you have something!

•         Electronic Use Policy at the college.  (likely the same blurb as used above, maybe with a few more details)

•         Library terms of use (this is where I will include some more detailed info with perhaps a bulleted list of a few common permitted and not permitted uses.)

Here is my rough stab at what I might post on our Research Databases page: [I borrowed some of these phrases from Augsburg College’s terms of use, posted on the EZ Proxy listserv by Mike Bloomberg]

“Most of the Research Databases on this page are governed by copyright law and by the terms of use of the license between Excelsior College and the service provider. Use is restricted to current, authorized students, faculty and staff for academic, non-commercial use.”

Thoughts? Do others have broad licensing language publically posted for users? Where? Would you be willing to share what is included?

Thank you in advance!
Jennifer
