Cornell University Library's Position on Nondisclosure Clauses in Licenses

To promote openness and fairness among libraries licensing 
scholarly resources, Cornell University Library will not enter 
into vendor contracts that require nondisclosure of pricing 
information or other information that does not constitute a trade 
secret. All new and renewed licenses submitted with nondisclosure 
clauses will not be signed but henceforth will be referred to the 
Associate University Librarian for Scholarly Resources and 
Special Collections for further negotiation.

Most publishers find that non-disclosure agreements are not 
necessary. Among the numerous journal and ebook publishers and 
aggregators whose current contracts with us omit non-disclosure 
clauses are the American Institute of Physics (AIP), American 
Physical Society (APS), ASTM International, American Society for 
Microbiology (ASM), American Chemical Society (ACS), Bloomberg, 
Cambridge University Press, EBSCO, Elsevier, IEEE, Institute of 
Physics (IOP), Knovel, Oxford University Press, Proquest, Sage, 
SPIE, Taylor & Francis, and Wiley.
