The LIBLICENSE Model License Agreement provides both a template that can be used by university librarians in negotiating particular licensing agreements and, more generally, serves as a statement by the academic library community of what it considers acceptable policy and practice for licensing digital information. It is neither expected nor intended that this Model License Agreement be the last word on contract terms for digital materials. The PDF file below contains the current version of the Model License. A fuller presentation may be found on the website of the Center for Research Libraries which, along with the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, provided support and resources for this effort.
