Document background
The Library License Agreement serves as the foundational document for establishing and managing content licensing relationships between content providers/publishers and library institutions in Switzerland. This agreement is essential when a library seeks to provide its users with access to digital or print resources while ensuring compliance with Swiss federal and cantonal laws. The document addresses key aspects such as access rights, usage permissions, authentication methods, and data protection requirements. It is particularly relevant for academic, research, public, and corporate libraries operating under Swiss jurisdiction, and includes specific provisions for compliance with Swiss copyright law, data protection regulations, and library-specific legislation. The agreement typically requires customization based on the type of library, scope of licensed materials, and specific user requirements.
