*** CLIR/DLF Model License

Introduction
The Liblicense Standard Licensing Agreement is an attempt to reach consensus on the basic terms of contracts to license digital information between university libraries and academic publishers.  Sponsored by the Council on Library and Information Resources, the Digital Library Federation and Yale University Library, it represents the contributions of numerous college and university librarians, lawyers and other university officials responsible for licensing, as well as significant input from representatives of the academic publishing community.

The original version of this model license was prepared and posted in 2001 and is preserved here. The revised version, which should now be used, was prepared in May 2008.
