Re: Perpetual Access
Sallie, Off the top of my head I can think of the following examples from the MIT Libraries: Our former Sloan School Librarian, Kate Pittsley, negotiated such an arrangement with Disclosure for one of their CDROM products. We will be allowed to retain the disks if we cancel. In addition, JSTOR (a web product) has this option built into their license agreement; data is supplied on CDROM upon cancellation. So this is part of our JSTOR arrangement. ISI offers a "license" option (as opposed to "lease") for their "Web of Science" where you get to retain the information you've purchased -- it arrives on tape, I believe. We are still considering the product and also whether to opt for the "license" option if we do purchase it. Hope this helps...is there a particular product for which you are planning to try to negotiate retention upon cancellation? Or are you thinking of making this a standard part of your negotation process? I would be interested to know what experience or thoughts you've had on this issue. Ellen Duranceau Asst.
