I am teaching a CE class on E-Resource Management at a professional
conference this spring.  One of the group activities involves
reviewing a license agreement, comparing it against a checklist of
clauses, and assigning it a grade (A, B, C, D, or F) based on the
contents.  In addition, participants will be identifying key points
they would earmark for negotiation with the publisher.

I have lots of examples of library-friendly (or “model”) agreements
and quite a few “okay” or acceptable agreements.  But I don’t seem to
have any truly awful ones in my files.  If someone in the group has
one they’d be willing to share with me, I’d be most appreciative!

All info identifying your institution or the publisher can be
redacted, if need be.  I’m not looking to vilify anyone!  Just wanting
to encourage the class participants to review licenses with a critical
eye and be on the lookout for problematic clauses.

Thanks in advance for your help!
