I think it unnecessary to insist on such provisions, or ask for permission, because all site licenses inherently provide the right. What every individual at the university can access, a group of them can. A few licenses purport to say otherwise; I consider the terms self-contradictory.
Licenses based on simultaneous access are another matter. If the class is small enough that 1 user at a a time is sufficient, permission is equally unnecessary. If multiple simultaneous access is needed, it would have to be paid for.
In general, I think we do not do well to negotiate for rights we already have.

E-reseves
To: liblicense-l@lists.yale.edu
I know the question of providing hot links to e-journal articles via E-reserve services has been discussed in the past. I also see that there is the following language in the Standard License Agreement on the Liblicense web site _ "Electronic Reserve._ Licensee and Authorized Users may use a reasonable portion of the Licensed Materials for use in connection with specific courses of instruction offered by Licensee and/or its parentinstitution." Generally has the above language been adopted by vendors when negotiating the license for a particular database or e-journal package? We have a number of licenses that we set up before our e-reserve service was established. Have you gone back to each agreement and updated to include the above language? Kathy E.
