Because CONTU is a set of guidelines with activities (such as tracking)
that concern the borrowing library. The lending library has a couple duties
in CONTU, too, but the weight is largely on the borrowing library. As you
know ILL sections of licences concern what libraries can do as lenders.
However, we can't control what the borrowing libraries do regarding CONTU
tracking... therefore, it's largely absurd to agree to it in a license and
potentially trouble. I know the potential trouble part is probably a long
shot. I just got done vacuuming, so I'm kind of wiped out, and this
probably isn't the best explanation!

Maybe others can add to this? I hope this helps.

Hi Cindy,

Can you expand on why you recommend not including CONTU guidelines in
licenses?

Thank you!

I would highly recommend leaving CONTU out of licenses altogether.

Leaving in secure electronic transmission or something to that effect is
fine.
