CUNY Librarian Licensing Flowchart

Flowchart accessible version

* You have a copy of the license; it is not older than 5 years, and it has been signed by a valid signatory.

** You may have to do some due diligence here. Ask vendor to check with their lawyer. Check for links to T & C on the order/renewal form. Use CORAL and see if anybody else in CUNY has a license or T & C.
