Future Negotiations
Limited confidentiality - Open the Discussion, Consult with Peers
More complete deliverables - Collect and Retain All Digitized Data
More open access - Preserve Traditional Freedoms to Support Research and Scholarship
Less restricted distribution – Strive for the Freedom to Aggregate Content
Responsible treatment of usage data - Include Usage Data in Negotiations
Limited duration and survivability - Avoid Contract Exclusivity and Perpetuity

Negotiating strategy
Inform your counsel of your desired outcome Let counsel determine warranties and
indemnifications Know your bottom line – at what point are you
prepared to walk away? Start with the best agreement to date Negotiate on behalf of the broader community How much more would it cost to make it free?

Material that is unique or rare is in a variety of formats will only be acquired once need only be cataloged once supports our local users will be accessed by remote users
Scale up digitization to avoid marginalization
