Hello Rebecca, We have this seen this on perhaps 27 items since 2009. These items included CD-ROMs, PDF titles, and videos.
In the past, we had several instances where titles were purchased and then the vendor contacted us about pricing, licensing, etc., because they had not thought about libraries purchasing from their websites. We now try to get a copy of any licensing restrictions in writing from the vendor, either in a contract or in an e-mail, before making the purchase. Michael S.

How often are you told this? Is that legal? Does it need to be included in the contract or invoice to be valid or is the verbal word sufficient to limit our use?
