RE: Including eReserve provisions in licensing contracts

["Rick Anderson" <rickand@unr.edu>]

It seems to me that linking to online articles to which the campus
community has access anyway shouldn't require any special license
language.  As long as users are authenticated, it shouldn't matter whether
they gain access from a page titled "Electronic Journals" or from one
titled "Course Reserve."  Really, you're not talking about "reserves" in
the traditional sense at all, just a thematically-organized page of links.  
Coincidentally, just today I've had two separate conversations on this
topic with my colleagues here, and would be very interested in hearing
others' views.
