RE: Non-exclusive licenses & copyright
Blackwell's new service, the Electronic Journal Navigator, is essentially a distribution and access tool for electronic journals. Libraries can access all of the electronic journals to which they subscribe through a single search interface which links through to the electronic journal content. Libraries decide which electronic journals they want on subscription, and can place orders either through Blackwell's subscription services, via another agent or direct with the publisher. They have the option of accessing these journals via EJN (or any other method they choose). Electronic journals that are accessible via EJN are still covered by the licenses between the libraries and publishers. Blackwell's does NOT own the copyright for these journals and does not "re-license" the electronic journals provided through the service. What Blackwell's does undertake is to assist in negotiating licenses with specific publishers on behalf of specific libraries when asked to do so, and we bring expertise and knowledge in this area that the libraries themselves might not have. In addition, the Electronic Journal Navigator system enables the libraries to manage access to the electronic journals to which they subscribe according to the licenses they have with the publisher. It is each library's responsibility to ensure that the publishers' licenses are being adhered to within their institution, and EJN provides an easy method via our administration module to enable this. +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ Sharon Cline McKay Technical Sales Manager Blackwell's Periodicals http://www.blackwell.co.uk/journals/ Phone: 801-942-9500 Fax: 801-942-8013 Email: mckay@blackper.com +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ >-----Original Message-----
