"As libraries negotiate these terms it may be helpful to begin with reference to model
language that has been proposed by several organizations. This language is designed to
permit libraries to make content in their collections fully accessible. This model
language is based on several existing model documents, including the Northeast
Research Libraries Consortium Generic License, the California Digital Library Model
License Agreement, the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) Draft
Language for Model Licenses, and draft language developed by OCUL for local load
agreements. Of course, this language should not be used uncritically as “boilerplate.”
Individual institutions should instead use this as a starting place to begin their own
consideration of these issues.

assistive software or devices such as large-print interfaces, text-to-speech output,
refreshable braille displays, voice-activated input, and alternate keyboard or pointer
interfaces in a manner consistent with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
published by the World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Accessibility Initiative. Licensor
shall provide Licensee current completed Voluntary Product Accessibility Template
(VPAT) to detail compliance with the federal Section 508 standards. In the event that the

Licensor promptly make modifications that will make the Licensed Materials

"Disabilities Compliance. Licensor shall comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), by supporting assistive software or devices such as large print interfaces, voice-activated input, and alternate keyboard or pointer interfaces in a manner consistent with the Web Accessibility Initiative Web Content Accessibility Guidelines."
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act is also relevant to web accessibility and it is unclear why it is not included.
Liblicense's introduction to the model agreement has the disclaimer, "To be of maximum value, this document should be used only as a reference document that assists professionals in negotiating (or preparing to negotiate) database content license agreements. Under no circumstances should any person or organization use or adopt the LMLA in its entirety, or use it as the sole or exclusive basis for negotiating a license contract."
