Library Access to E-Resources License Agreements

E-resource contacts can now access current license agreements for the products your library subscribes to through CARLI by logging into the selection system. Users will be prompted for their user name and password. Once logged in users will be able to see the following information for the two most recent selection cycles as well as the one-time purchases your institution has made through CARLI:

• Database name
• Vendor providing access
• Cost
• Any special comments

Each product listed is a hyperlink to the current license agreement. These agreements have been redacted to remove all confidential information, such as participants and pricing. The license agreements include the period of performance, terms of use and archival access information.
