[Eril-l] Vendor agreements with AI language in them

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Hi Jackie,

We have had a vendor come back to us with an AI statement or clause in a contract (not remembering the vendor off the top of my head) I would say touch base with your dean, director of libraries or university librarian. Thats what we ended up doing to strike a balance with AI language in contracts. They may have a strategy about how to approach it. Ideally you wouldn't want that kind of restrictive language!  Good luck 🙂

Take care,
Flynn

[EXTERNAL]

Hello,
I have an agreement to sign with Nature/Springer for journals that include AI language that wasn't there last year.  It stipulates what our users cannot do with the information they use from their journals.  I don't have any control over what our students do with the research they find in our resources, and I don't want any.
I've asked them to strike that paragraph, but they are pushing back.

What do you think?  What has your library done about these AI statements in resource agreements?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Jackie
