This means that contract law acquires unprecedented relevance in publisher-user relations. The partial displacement of copyright law by contract law is not exempt from problems: through these licensing agreements libraries are being obligated, either by the absence of negotiation or the lack of balanced agreements, to renounce the enjoyment of copyright limitations and exceptions that benefit them, interfering with their important social role of helping citizens obtain information. The solutions to this problem can be found in three different yet complementary approaches: the constitution of consortia, greater information and training for professionals, and finally - and this is the focus of the analysis presented here - the modification of copyright law so that licences that stipulate against the most fundamental limitations and exceptions to copyright might be declared null and void, in the interest of maintaining a copyright equilibrium.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551504045853","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2004,9,6]],"date-time":"2004-09-06T10:25:32Z","timestamp":1094466332000},"page":"337-346","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Licensing Agreements for Information Resources and Copyright Limitations and Exceptions"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"J.
