From: Nancy Egan <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2014 16:53:38 +0000 Hello. Are there any librarians who work in public institutions who’ve had to have legal counsel look over (and approve) a vendor’s licensing agreement just to run a database trial? In one instance here, a vendor required a signature for a trial so the lawyer had to sign. However, now there’s been some suggestion that any vendor licenses should be reviewed before a trial—regardless of whether a signature is needed or not. Is this required (or has it been “suggested”) anywhere else? Thanks, Nancy Egan
