If a book owner or borrower wants to
use the book beyond the uses permitted by law, he
or she must get permission. This creates a careful
balance between the rights of the copyright owner
and the owner of the book.
Licensing
agreement are changing in the digital environment.
So far, the changes seem to favor copyright owners
and create more liabilities and fewer and more restrictive
rights for users.
If the academic
community wants to browse, download, print out, forward,
and quote from digital works, those rights should
be secured at the same time digital access is acquired.
Those who negotiate the software and database licenses
that will eventually replace hard-copy acquisition
are determining today the rights we will have tomorrow.
The rights of use will be in the contract, not in
the law, so look closely at those contracts. Those
contracts are the new copyright frontier.

Liblicense includes a very nice page of links
to other resources addressing licensing issues.
There are also model
standard licenses for use by publishers, librarians
and subscription agents for electronic resources.
