Archiving of Journals:To replace the wording of the original Agreement as pertains to Licensor Archive Policy from the original text to the amended text as shown below:Original text8.2 Upon termination of this Agreement because of expiration of the Subscription Year, Licensor shall provide continuing access to Licensee and its Authorized Users to that part of the Licensed Materials which was published within the Subscription Year(s) for four (4) further years, with continuing access in subsequent years to be arranged, either from the Licensor's server, or through a third party, or by supplying electronic files to the Licensee, provided that Licensee continue to observe its obligations with respect to security and restrictions on usage. Amended Text8.2 Springer recognizes the right of the Participating Libraries to own and possess in perpetuity their Subscribed Materials as described in this Agreement and listed in Appendix A and Attachment 1. Further, Springer makes provision for the Participating Libraries to self-archive the Non-subscribed Materials listed in Appendix D and Attachment 2. These rights and the methods by which they may be exercised are described below (hereinafter referred to as "Archival Rights"). 8.3 Participating Libraries may make one (1) electronic copy of all the Licensed Materials, as well as one (1) copy in print, from the electronic versions of the Licensed Materials to be maintained as a backup or for archival purposes. Use of LOCKSS technology for backup and archival purposes is permitted. This local archiving right is permitted for both the Subscribed Materials listed in Appendix A and Attachment 1 and the Non-subscribed Materials listed in Appendix D and Attachment 2. 8.4 In the event of cancellation of selected portions of the Subscribed Materials by any of the Patricipating Libraries, the previously subscribed content may be made available to their Authorized Users under the same terms and conditions set forth in existing contract.
