Re: university of chicago new license scheme



The terms are similar to any reasonable license.

I should also add that they have a two tier access option - the first tier is for a single concurrent user: in this situation you are only offered the "Terms and Conditions"; in the second tier you have campus wide + remote access: in this instance you still have "Terms and Conditions", and you are given the opportunity to negotiate a further license, if that is what your institution needs.

I would be interested to learn more about this. Are the terms in "Terms and Conditions" the same as in a "signed license" except for the absence of a signature?

that they no longer require a formal signed license from an
institution, replaced by "Terms and Conditions of Use of
Electronic Journals." I find this a very interesting development.
Is this a new trend (or one solution) to licensing challenges? (I
am new to handling licenses at my institution).
