SCELC Contract Points

The SCELC Contract Points contain examples of agreeable license content, including essential sections and clauses to watch for.

Shared Electronic Resource Understanding

SCELC will use SERU with vendors who would like such an agreement in lieu of a negotiated license.

Model Agreements

The LRC has incorporated ideas from the NERL Generic License and the CDL Model License. Vendors are encouraged to understand what SCELC is looking for when negotiating licenses by viewing these examples.
