The VALE Executive Committee has developed a list of preferred terms for license agreements that were included in vendor negotiations for database subscriptions.

Following are links to pdf versions of the current VALE licenses as well as a summary grid to provide a quick overview of VALE database licenses. This summary should not substitute for legal interpretation nor a complete reading of the licenses.

The grid and database licenses for 2006-2007 are password restricted. For username and password contact Judy Avrin at: avrinj@wpunj.edu.

Please note that since the licenses are confidential care should be taken not to post excerpts onto unsecured web pages.
