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

what our students do with the research they find in our resources, and I don't want any. <o:p></o:p></p>
