The Librarian’s Copyright Companion
Comment: Good. No computer system is infallible, and having redundant copies provides greater assurance that content will be accessible whenever it is needed.

Make such [temporary] local electronic copies [by means of caching {or mirrored storage}] of all or part of the Licensed Materials as are necessary solely to ensure efficient use by Authorized Users [and not to make available to Authorized Users duplicate copies of the Licensed Material].

Comment: Making a cache copy provides quicker access to the online data.

Provide single printed or electronic copies of single articles at the request of individual Authorized Users.

Comment: Good. This is consistent with the section 108 exemption that permits libraries to make copies at a patron’s request.

Authorized Users may, in accordance with the copyright laws of [jurisdiction] and subject to clause 6 below:

Search, view, retrieve and display the Licensed Materials.

Print a copy or download and save individual articles or items of the Licensed Materials for personal use.

Use individual parts of the Licensed Materials within Learning Objects for the Licensee’s teaching, learning or training purposes.

Use Text Mining technologies to derive information from the Licensed Materials.

Comment: This language is good because it allows researchers to make full use of the database with software tools.

Distribute a copy of individual articles or items of the Licensed Materials in print or electronic form to other Authorized Users or to other individual scholars collaborating with Authorized Users but only for the purposes of research and private study [; for the avoidance of doubt, this sub-clause shall include the distribution of a copy for teaching purposes to each individual student Authorized User in a class at the Licensee’s institution].

Comment: This allows each student to have a print or digital copy of any articles needed for class or research.
