To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140), I hereby request the following records:
1. Most recent governing, base, or master license with Elsevier, a subsidiary of RELX, relating to the product ScienceDirect.
2. All related amendments, addenda, appendices, attachments, product terms, MOUs, MOAs, data processing agreements, letters of intent.
3. All financial documents or records of financial transactions, exchanges or obligations related to the contractual relations with Elsevier’s ScienceDirect. Responsive materials include invoices, order forms, and any other documents that incorporate language governing terms of use of the ScienceDirect product.
Please do not limit your search to strictly direct agreements or renewals between the institution and Elsevier, but include all agreements and related documentation through consortia such as the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI) or Lyrasis.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com. I am affiliated with an educational research institution; this request is made for a scholarly purpose and not for a commercial use.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
