American Meteorological Society License Available
Keith Seitter, Executive Director of the American Meteorological Society, has made the AMS's online Journals Subscription Agreement (i.e., contract or license) available to all of us. It's linked as a "What's New" on the LIBLICENSE web site. http://www.library.yale.edu/~llicense This Agreement has many things going for it, including its brevity (yes, that is a virtue indeed, compared to some of the 10-25 page documents that libraries read and respond to). More to the point are the: fair use-friendly language, treatment of "occasional" (i.e., walk-in) users, treatment of remote sites/campuses, sensible language about liability/enforcement, and long-term access, among other things. Read it; it's an Agreement that makes sense for electronic journals. And, yes, of course, it could be longer and more comprehensive, but does it need to be? We don't think so.
