Our standard license language (based on that used by the California Digital Library for all of UC) focuses on authorized users affiliated with the Davis campus as the licensee, regardless of where they are located physically. In most cases we are able to include all of the IP ranges we administer and it has not been an issue. There are a few cases, particularly for health sciences content, where we see the geographic site restriction. In cases where the cost of licensing for all of our locations would be prohibitive, we occasionally license just for the medical center and its IP ranges, and include the IP range of library staff in the main library in order to perform administrative tasks. I know I have come across some standard agreements that define "site" as reporting to the same administrative structure. That might be preferable where the licensor includes any language defining site at all.

For example, we are an academic health sciences library for a university with educational, research and clinical components, including two hospitals staffed in part by University faculty. We have acquired and built new clinics and in the near future will be partnering with another hospital system in a joint facility. All of the new clinics share the same administrative structure and are part of the University. All of the ‘sites’ use the same IP range. It seems to me as though the ‘authorized sites’ concept is becoming an outmoded way of thinking about organizations but I am interested to hear what others have to say and how you handle it with your licenses. Thank you, Maurine
