Re: Hot links to electronic articles in databases and e-journals for E-reseves

[David Goodman <dgoodman@Princeton.EDU>]

I think it unnecessary to insist on such provisions, or ask for 
permission, because all site licenses inherently provide the 
right. What every individual at the university can access, a 
group of them can. A few licenses purport to say otherwise; I 
consider the terms self-contradictory.

Licenses based on simultaneous access are another matter. If the 
class is small enough that 1 user at a a time is sufficient, 
permission is equally unnecessary. If multiple simultaneous 
access is needed, it would have to be paid for.

In general, I think we do not do well to negotiate for rights we 
already have.
