Dear Library and Publishing Colleagues,

There is a new (free!) resource on the LIBLICENSE website: 
https://liblicense.crl.edu/resources/digital-preservation/

A 2022 review revealed that digital preservation language in many existing 
agreements is:
·        Vague
·        Unclear regarding the precise content and time depth preserved
·        Unnecessarily restrictive in terms of access and/or use
·        A conflation of long-term digital preservation and access with 
post-cancellation access
·        Sometimes administratively burdensome

It is also difficult to verify compliance with the agreement language, and that 
the content is deposited and preserved properly.

A working group produced this 
paper<https://zenodo.org/record/7688275#.ZBIAKOzMI-R> to clarify the 
distinction between long-term preservation and post-cancellation access, 
recommends improved language to use in agreements, and offers guidance on how 
to negotiate the language into agreements.

Please may I thank each working group member for your time and thoughtful 
engagement throughout the last year – it has been a privilege to chair, and to 
learn from and with you all: Sara Bahnmaier (University of Michigan), Lorraine 
Estelle (EIFL), Evelyn Frangakis (Princeton Theological Seminary), Melanie 
Kowalski (CRL), Erik Limpitlaw (Stanford University), Steve Marks (University 
of Toronto), Tim Morton (University of Virginia), Ann Okerson (Liblicense 
Project), Rita Pinhasi (University of Vienna), Michelle Polchow (University of 
California Davis), Judy Russell (University of Florida), Mark Sandler (Novel 
Solutions), Daniël Steinmeier (Dutch Royal Library), Ben Taplin (Jisc), and 
Kate Wittenberg (Portico).

On behalf of the entire group, we hope you find this new resource useful. We 
would love to hear from you and learn from your experiences. We welcome any 
suggestions to inform the future refresh of this document.

With best wishes,

Alicia
