From: Curtis Lavery <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2012 20:39:37 +0000 At the California Digital Library we have included provision for content mining in our model license and discussions since 2008, and have successfully negotiated this with a handful of vendors. We include this as part of each discussion: Text Mining. Authorized Users may use the licensed material to perform and engage in text mining /data mining activities for legitimate academic research and other educational purposes. Our standard license agreement may be viewed at: www.cdlib.org/gateways/vendors/guidelines_licensing.html If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at [log in to unmask] With best wishes, Curtis Lavery Licensing Manager California Digital Library Univ. of Calif.
