Ramona,

Actually,  I think it is quite a stretch to include any kind of
license or agreement with a straight out purchase of anything.

Once you own something the full force of regular ownership law comes into play.

Since there is I.P. content you should only have to deal with Copyright Law.

Why would you need to sign any agreement with the seller if once you
walk away - you own it ?

Would you be willing to share the terms of this "license" with the
group ? (or with me ?)

I'd really like to read it.

Thanks

Todd Puccio

Thanks to all the responders, both on and off the list.  To answer a
few questions I received:

The microfilm is a purchase not a lease.

The microfilm is actual film, not digital.

After some pushback with the vendor, I have received language allowing
for ILL.  Some of the terms are still in negotiation.

I'm grateful for an opportunity to discuss this issue with you all!

Ramona,

Are you purchasing the microfilm or merely licensing it?  It's doubly
odd if the vendor is trying to tell you what to do after you've
purchased something physical from them. As far as I know, neither
institution where I've worked has dealt with anything like this for
microfilm (or any other physical media).

Ramona,
that just seems wrong to me. We would not sign that agreement.

We are accustomed to dealing with license agreements for electronic
products, but today I was sent a license agreement for the microfilm
of a major U.S. newspaper.  I don't think we've signed any licenses
agreements for microfilm in the past.  This one specifically says that
the content may not be used for interlibrary loan.  Have others out
there dealt with this issue before?  What is your practice concerning
ILL and microfilm?  Would you sign such an agreement?


Thanks,  Ramona
