The Laboratoire INIST of the CNRS (http://www.cnrs.fr/) and the
International Association of Scientific, Technical & Medical
Publishers (STM, www.stm-assoc.org) have agreed a framework licence
agreement to be entered into directly between individual publishers
and the CNRS.

It governs the supply of copies of articles from the CNRS' holdings to
non-commercial and commercial organisations, nationally and
internationally, with special conditions for France and
French-speaking territories.

Cyrille Macquart, Directeur INIST-CNRS, said "We are delighted to have
agreed a framework licence with STM. This means we can improve the
speed of service delivery we offer to our users and augment the reach
and depth of our current Document Supply Service."

Any articles to be supplied under this new service are solely for an
end-user's own purposes, or to libraries acting as intermediaries and
as a trusted point of receipt under certain conditions.

The framework licence agreement will start from 1st January 2013.

"We are pleased to have worked so successfully with the CNRS to reach
this agreement," said Michael Mabe, CEO of STM. "The French framework
licence will give publishers, including our members, contractual and
legal certainty, including over the international crossborder delivery
of copies from their material via an established and respected
document supply service. It will also allow the CNRS to improve the
service, and delivery times, available to its authorised users."
