Licence Terms and Conditions

BC ELN negotiates the best terms of use for the products we license on behalf of partner libraries. Whenever possible, the consortium uses its model licence in negotiations as a way to ensure optimal usage rights.

Negotiated licence agreements as well as summaries of key permitted uses (click resource titles to see the permissions) are provided below.

BC ELN is happy to assist partners with their questions; however, the consortium does not interpret licence agreements. It is the responsibility of individual institutions to review the licence and determine whether a specific use is permitted or not. Institutions are also encouraged to consult legal experts at their home institution with their questions.
