Title NISO RP-7-2012, SERU: A Shared Electronic Resource Understanding
Name NISO RP-7-2012, SERU: A Shared Electronic Resource Understanding (90K)
Description PDF version.

Updates and supersedes NISO RP-7-2008.

The Shared Electronic Resource Understanding (SERU) Recommended Practice offers a mechanism that can be used as an alternative to a license agreement. The SERU statement expresses commonly shared understandings of the content provider, the subscribing institution and authorized users; the nature of the content; use of materials and inappropriate uses; privacy and confidentiality; online performance and service provision; and archiving and perpetual access. This updated version of SERU recognizes both the importance of making SERU more flexible for those who want to expand its use beyond e-journals, and the fact that consensus for other types of e-resource transactions are not as well-established as they are for e-journals.
