LIBRARIES ONLINE, INC.
E-books Memorandum of Agreement for Subscribers
1. By this agreement LION will provide ebook access to subscribing, nonmember
libraries through LION's contractual relationship with netLibrary, Inc.
Initial subscribing library purchase into the existing LION collection
will be determined by LION member cost plus a 15% surcharge. The LION
Board of Directors retain the right to determine all ongoing and maintenance
fees. Subscribing libraries provide access to their readers through a
netLibrary icon placed on their own website.
2. LION reserves the right to manage all aspects of collection development,
which includes title selection, the acquisition process, and eventual
de-selection or "weeding." Subscribing libraries are welcome
to participate in the title selection and de-selection process, and may
purchase ebook titles directly through LION. All subscribing library purchases
will be made at netLibrary, Inc.'s charge with a 15% surcharge, and will
include netLibrary's charge for each MARC record. (Presently $1.00 per
title.) All titles purchased by LION members or individual subscribing
libraries will be accessible for circulation by both types of members.
All ebook circulation periods will be determined by LION policy as established
by the LION Board of Directors.
3. LION reserves the right to discontinue all new title purchases as determined
by the LION Board of Directors. Titles already purchased by LION members
and subscribing libraries will remain accessible through netLibrary, Inc.'s
website.
4. LION has waived participation in netLibrary, Inc.'s enhanced escrow
program. In that escrow program, ebooks would remain accessible through
a third party in the unlikely event that netLibrary Inc. cannot provide
access. LION has made this decision for three reasons 1)the reference
function and timely nature of the titles, 2) the escrow program's cost,
and 3)the fact that netLibrary Inc. possess the industry's largest collection
and would likely be purchased by another concern. Subscribing libraries
agree to LION's waiver of the enhanced escrow program.
5. Each subscribing library shall indemnify LION, and directors and officers
of LION, for, and hold them harmless from, all damage, loss, cost, and
expense incurred or suffered by them as a result of, or in connection
with, any claim, suit, or action made, or brought, against them by any
third person to the extent that the claim, suit, or action, is related
to, or arises out of, any act or omission for which that member is legally
liable to that person.
