Description: 

Making our holdings available for use is fundamental to the archival mission, yet many archives attempt to control further uses in various ways. When is it appropriate for an archives to limit reuse in order to protect its interests?

Reviews: 
"I found it very helpful to examine and review parts and pieces of use agreements and policies utilized at a variety of institutions. Comparing and contrasting a wide variety of documents helped me to learn how others have chosen to tackle and address some very complex issues."
