Draft UK Model License-P.S.
Dear Liblicense-l readers: Today you will have seen two messages posted to this list about the same important project: a document that constitutes a proposed 'model licence' between publishers and UK universities. As you probably noticed, these messages reached you out of sequence, for the one from Sally Morris (John Wiley) and Toby Bainton (SCONUL) was sent to us on June 23rd. At that time Sally attached a text copy of the model license for posting to either Liblicense-l or the LIBLICENSE web site. We were eager to do the latter, but technology counfounded us not a little. We could not decipher the attachment though Sally subsequently e-mailed it three different ways. So she did the sensible thing: mailed us a diskette. It arrived around the time many of us were at the American Library Association meeting; later while working with the diskette to HTML-ize it, we corrupted the the data on Sally's diskette and asked her to send another. Meanwhile, we were holding Sally's message to Liblicense-l until we had a URL for you. Happily, we thank Hazel Woodward for notifying us of the work of the UK Serials Group (UKSG), in particular Richard Goodman, their Webmaster, for having done the HTML deed and made the document available. We are making the link to the UKSG draft from the LIBLICENSE web site, so readers can have access this document from more than one path. Our apologies to Sally Morris and Toby Bainton as well as the PA/JISC group for our own delays. **Please send in your comments as Sally Morris requested in her message today, about this "model license."*** Also, we very much welcome a comments and discussion of the draft model license on this list. Once again the UK has provided us with important leadership in the area of electronic content licensing, and we thank the participants. In summary, you may find the UK "model license" at the following site: UK site: http://epip.lboro.ac.uk/uksg/hi/pa.htm and linked as follows: US link: http://www.library.yale.edu/~llicense/liclinks.shtml French mirror for LIBLICENSE: http://enssibhp.enssib.fr/miroir/liblic/ Ann Okerson Co-Moderator Liblicense-l Ann.Okerson@yale.edu
