SCOPE OF MASTER
AGREEMENT:
The purpose of this Master Agreement is to establish a Master Agreement
to provide electronic indexes, abstract, and full-text databases in
broad coverage of disciplines for providers and users of the Kentucky
Virtual Library (KYVL).
On an annual basis, the KYVL will determine what databases, if any;
will be acquired from the Master Agreement for these services. The determination
to license a database that is on the Master Agreement will be based
upon customer demand for types of databases, value of the database to
the KYVL, and available budget and financial participation from library
partners.
The award of a Master Agreement does not insure the vendor will be
selected to provide databases for KYVL's core collection.
KYVL members have access to the core collection of databases for which
KYVL Master Agreements and may offer access to their users. In addition
to the core database collection, each library, member, or community
also has the option to purchase access and negotiate licensing requirements,
etc. to additional databases of its choice from vendors who have received
a Master Agreement. KYVL members expect to also negotiate additional
discounts based upon other products purchased from the same vendor or
for other reasons agreed upon by both parties. KYVL members may also
request additional training required beyond the KYVL master agreement
minimums, as needed, and members would be responsible for additional
costs to be negotiated with each vendor.
TERMS OF MASTER AGREEMENT AND RENEWEL OPTIONS
The initial term of the Master Agreement shall be for a period of two
(2) years from the effective date of the Award of Master Agreement.
This Master Agreement may be renewed at the completion of the initial
Master Agreement period for two (2) additional two (2) year periods
upon the mutual agreement of the Parties. Such mutual agreement shall
take the form of an addendum to the Master Agreement.
The Commonwealth reserves the right not to exercise any or all renewal
options. The Commonwealth reserves the right to extend the Master Agreement
for a period less than the length of the above-referenced renewal period
if such an extension is determined by the Commonwealth Buyer to be in
the best interest of the Commonwealth.
