>LIBLICENSE-L is a moderated list for the discussion of issues related to
>the licensing of digital information by academic and research libraries.
>Increasingly, libraries are being inundated with information created in
>digital format and transmitted and accessed via computers. This list is
>designed to assist librarians and others concerned with the licensing of
>information in digital format in dealing with some of the unique
>challenges faced by this new medium. Information providers (creators,
>publishers and vendors) who deal with libraries are welcomed as members of
>liblicense-l. Potential areas of discussion include:
>
> * Drafting library and educational license agreements for digital
> information content
>
> * Insuring that license agreements do not inordinately restrict
> the use of digital information
>
> * Reconciling license agreements with the fair use provisions of
> the U.S.Copyright Act
>
> * International agreements relating to the copyright of databases
> and other digital information in their relationship to content
> licenses
>
> * Modifications of the U.S. Copyright Act as this relates to
> digital content licenses
>
> * Privacy and security issues relating to the use of licensed
> digital information via license
>
> * Interlibrary loans of digital information in the way these
> relate to library content licenses.

>This list is moderated. The list moderator is Rodney Stenlake, Esq.,
