By using the services available at this site or by making the services available to Authorized Users, the
Authorized Users and the Licensee agree to comply with the following terms and conditions (the "Agreement").
For purposes of this Agreement, "EBSCO" is EBSCO Publishing, Inc.; the "Licensee" is the entity or institution that
makes available databases and services offered by EBSCO; the "Sites" are the Internet websites offered or
operated by Licensee from which Authorized Users can obtain access to EBSCO's Databases and Services; and
the "Authorized User(s)" are employees, students, registered patrons, walk-in patrons, or other persons
affiliated with Licensee or otherwise permitted to use Licensee's facilities and authorized by Licensee to access
Databases or Services. "Authorized User(s)" do not include alumni of the Licensee. "Services" shall mean
EBSCOhost, EBSCO Discovery Service, EBSCO eBooks, Flipster and related products to which Licensee has
purchased access or a subscription. "Services" shall also include eBooks to which a Licensee has purchased
access or a subscription and periodicals to which Licensee has purchased a subscription. "Databases" shall mean
the products made available by EBSCO. EBSCO disclaims any liability for the accuracy, completeness or
functionality of any material contained herein, referred to, or linked to. Publication of the servicing information
in this content does not imply approval of the manufacturers of the products covered. EBSCO assumes no
responsibility for errors or omissions nor any liability for damages from use of the information contained herein.
Persons engaging in the procedures included herein do so entirely at their own risk.
I. LICENSE
A. EBSCO hereby grants to the Licensee a nontransferable and non-exclusive right to use the Databases and
Services made available by EBSCO according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Databases and
Services made available to Authorized Users are the subject of copyright protection, and the original copyright
owner (EBSCO or its licensors) retains the ownership of the Databases and Services and all portions thereof.
EBSCO does not transfer any ownership, and the Licensee and Sites may not reproduce, distribute, display,
modify, transfer or transmit, in any form, or by any means, any Database or Service or any portion thereof
without the prior written consent of EBSCO, except as specifically authorized in this Agreement.
B. The Licensee is authorized to provide on -site access through the Sites to the Databases and Services to any
Authorized User. The Licensee may not post passwords to the Databases or Services on any publicly indexed
websites. The Licensee and Sites are authorized to provide remote access to the Databases and Services only to
their patrons as long as security procedures are undertaken that will prevent remote access by institutions,
employees at non -subscribing institutions or individuals, that are not parties to this Agreement who are not
expressly and specifically granted access by EBSCO. For the avoidance of doubt, if Licensee provides remote
access to individuals on a broader scale than was contemplated at the inception of this Agreement then EBSCO
may hold the Licensee in breach and suspend access to the Database(s) or Services. Remote access to the
Databases or Services is permitted to patrons of subscribing institutions accessing from remote locations for
personal, non-commercial use. However, remote access to the Databases or Services from non -subscribing
institutions is not allowed if the purpose of the use is for commercial gain through cost reduction or
avoidance for a non -subscribing institution.
C. Licensee and Authorized Users agree to abide by the Copyright Act of 1976 as well as by any contractual
restrictions, copyright restrictions, or other restrictions provided by publishers and specified in the Databases or
Services. Pursuant to these terms and conditions, the Licensee and Authorized Users may download or print

accordance with copyright law. Licensee and Authorized Users may not publish the information. Licensee and
Authorized Users shall not use the Database or Services as a component of or the basis of any other publication
prepared for sale and will neither duplicate nor alter the Databases or Services or any of the content therein in
any manner, nor use same for sale or distribution. Licensee and Authorized Users may not use artificial
intelligence tools or machine learning technologies with any of the content included in the Databases or Services
for any purpose. Licensee and Authorized Users may create printouts of materials retrieved through the
Databases or Services online printing, off line printing, facsimile or electronic mail. All reproduction and
distribution of such printouts, and all downloading and electronic storage of materials retrieved through the
Databases or Services shall be for internal or personal use. Downloading all or parts of the Databases or Services
in a systematic or regular manner so as to create a collection of materials comprising all or part of the Databases
or Services is strictly prohibited whether or not such collection is in electronic or print form. Notwithstanding the
above restrictions, this paragraph shall not restrict the use of the materials under the doctrine of "fair use" as
defined under the laws of the United States. Publishers may impose their own conditions of use applicable only
to their content. Such conditions of use shall be displayed on the computer screen displays associated with such
content. The Licensee shall take all reasonable precautions to limit the usage of the Databases or Services to
those specifically authorized by this Agreement.
D. Authorized Sites may be added or deleted from this Agreement as mutually agreed upon by EBSCO and
Licensee.

by Licensee that are not consistent with the Copyright Act of 1976.

allowed. User shall not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, modify, translate, make any attempt to

merchantability, noninfringement, or fitness for a particular purpose. Neither EBSCO nor its licensors assume or
authorize any other person to assume for EBSCO or its licensors any other liability in connection with the
licensing of the Databases or the Services under this Agreement and/or its use thereof by the Licensee and Sites
or Authorized Users.
B. THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF EBSCO AND ITS LICENSORS, IF ANY, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR ARISING OUT
OF ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE PRODUCTS, FOR DIRECT DAMAGES, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES RECEIVED BY EBSCO FROM LICENSEE
HEREUNDER UP TO THE TIME THE CAUSE OF ACTION GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY OCCURRED. IN NO EVENT
SHALL EBSCO OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR ANY AUTHORIZED USER FOR ANY INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES RELATED TO THE USE OF THE DATABASES OR

SERVICES OR TO THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES,
C. Licensee is responsible for maintaining a valid license to the third -party resources configured to be used via
the Services (if applicable). EBSCO disclaims any responsibility or liability for a Licensee accessing the third -party
resources without proper authorization.
D. EBSCO is not responsible if the third -party resources accessible via the Services fail to operate properly or if
the third -party resources accessible via the Services cause issues for the Licensee. While EBSCO will make best
efforts to help troubleshoot problems, Licensee acknowledges that certain aspects of functionality may be
dependent on third party resource providers who may need to be contacted directly for resolution.
A. License fees have been agreed upon by EBSCO and the Licensee, and include all retrospective issues of the
Product(s) as well as updates furnished during the term of this Agreement. The Licensee's obligations of
payment shall be to EBSCO or its assignee. Payments are due upon receipt of invoice(s) and will be deemed
delinquent if not received within thirty (30) days. Delinquent invoices are subject to interest charges of 12% per
annum on the unpaid balance (or the maximum rate allowed by law if such rate is less than 12%). The Licensee
will be liable for all costs of collection. Failure or delay in rendering payments due EBSCO under this Agreement
will, at EBSCO's option, constitute material breach of this Agreement. If changes are made resulting in
amendments to the listing of authorized Sites, Databases, Services and pricing identified in this Agreement, pro
rata adjustments of the contracted price will be calculated by EBSCO and invoiced to the Licensee and/or Sites
accordingly as of the date of any such changes. Payment will be due upon receipt of any additional pro rata
invoices and will be deemed delinquent if not received within thirty (30) days of the invoice dates.
B. Taxes, if any, are not included in the agreed upon price and may be invoiced separately. Any taxes applicable
to the Database(s) under this Agreement, whether or not such taxes are invoiced by EBSCO, will be the exclusive
responsibility of the Licensee and/or Sites.

notice, Licensee shall make every reasonable effort and document said effort to remedy such a breach and shall
institute any reasonable procedures to prevent future occurrences of such breaches. If the Licensee fails to
remedy such a breach within the period of thirty (30) days, EBSCO may (at its option) terminate this Agreement
upon written notice to the Licensee.
B. If EBSCO becomes aware of a material breach of Licensee's obligations under this Agreement or a breach by
Licensee or Authorized Users of the rights of EBSCO or its licensors or an infringement on the rights of EBSCO or
its licensors, then EBSCO will notify the Licensee immediately in writing and shall have the right to temporarily
suspend the Licensee's access to the Databases or Services. Licensee shall be given the opportunity to remedy
the breach or infringement within thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice from EBSCO. Once the
breach or infringement has been remedied or the offending activity halted, EBSCO shall reinstate access to the

days, EBSCO may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Licensee.

third -party Subprocessors upon Customer's request; and (C) inform Customer of any intended
changes to third -party Subprocessors, and give Customer a reasonable opportunity to object to such
changes. If EBSCO provides Personal Data to third -party Subprocessors, EBSCO will include in its
agreement with any such third -party Subprocessor terms which offer at least the same level of

Clauses and the parties undertake to be bound by the terms of the New Contractual Clauses effective

Technical and Organizational
Measures Including Technical I
Organizational Measures -to Ensure
-the Security of IData
EBSCO shall maintain and use appropriate safeguards to prevent the unauthorized access to or use of Customer
Personal Data and to implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect Customer Personal
Data. Such safeguards shall include:
1. Network and Application Security and Vulnerability Management:
a, Measures of Q50U dm2yrridzat n g d n+Ly—p ion omm rsonal d t is
Personal data is encrypted at rest using the 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256),
and in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. Cryptographic key management
is in place as outlined in National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) standard 800-57.
b. Measures fOr &ISUring ongolu ron.fidentmjan ty integrity, avai ability ands r�esihence�of
rocrtssin systems and services:
EBSCO has an ongoing commitment to certification against relevant International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, including ISO standards 27001, 27017,
27018 and 27701 both on -premise and at Amazon Web Services (AWS) managed data
centers. EBSCO is hosted both within the Amazon Web Services platform and within legacy on
premise data centers in Ipswich, MA and Boston, MA. Applications and data are distributed
for purposes of high availability and resilience. Features such as automatic recovery and
automatic scaling have been implemented. Applications together with their container
configuration can be redeployed within minutes, if necessary.
Measures for Lfisurin m' the abifity tra' restore tl Er ci�l�1dt�blilt� a�C1i� �� � ;"�%� # �C36ta� d It � RD 3
timely manner in the event of ahmysical or technical incident:
All applications and data are distributed across multiple nodes and the nodes are distributed
across multiple availability zones within Amazon Web Services to ensure high availability of
the service. The use of a container -based architecture further helps to ensure high availability
of the service. For example, applications automatically restart if they encounter issues and if a
specific node fails, it is removed from service and traffic is directed to the remaining 'healthy'
nodes. Where appropriate, nodes are set to automatically scale to handle unexpected spikes
in traffic. Regular service management meetings review the performance and future capacity
needs of the service. The infrastructure enables horizontal and vertical scaling to be
implemented with significantly reduced lead times compared to a physical infrastructure.
For our legacy on premise, EIS employs two concurrent data centers with failover capabilities
in the event that one of the sites experiences an outage. EBSCO's on -premise data centers are
protected with uninterruptable power supplies, fire suppression systems and limited access
only to personnel necessary for the ongoing operation of the data centers.
EBSCO continuously monitors service availability. The current status can be found here:

organizational measures in carder to ensure the security of the �rocessmg: �_�
EBSCO contracts third party penetration testing on an annual basis. In addition, vulnerability
scans are conducted through an automated code deployment pipeline. Our production
environment is scanned continuously. We employ a managed 24/7 security operations team
to continuously monitor our environment. EBSCO regularly applies security updates to our
environment following our comprehensive vulnerability management process. These updates
are done on a rolling basis using a Scaled Agile Framework for Enterprises (SAFe).
Organizational measures are reviewed twice annually, through an internal audit as well as an
external audit conducted on an annual basis by accredited third party auditors. In addition,
regular access reviews to sensitive data and systems are conducted on a regular basis.
EBSCO continually evaluates the security of its network and associated Services to determine
whether additional or different security measures are required to respond to security risks or
findings generated by periodic reviews.
e. Measures for d-ie proltection of data dour irk �;rfrnsnui�sr�ion:
All data is encrypted in transit using TLS, both from the users' browser to the applications as
well as data in transit between EBSCO systems and subprocessors.
f. MeasuresJor the protection of data durin ..storage,
Personal Data is encrypted at rest using the 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256),
All data storage is isolated from the public internet by a dedicated firewall to ensure only
EBSCO personnel can access the database.
g. MeaagUrgs for enstaing system confs� ur�ation, ir7�cludir� default con�fi �rrat�c�ru:
Standardized system configurations are enforced through automated code deployment
pipelines where appropriate.
h. Measures for internal IT and IT security governance and management:
EBSCO's Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) Team maintains the EBSCO Information
Security and Privacy Management system (ISPMS). The ISPMS is continuously monitored and
improved to conform to or exceed the standards required by ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO
27017, and ISO 27108. The EBSCO ISPMS is comprised of the ISMS -Information Security
Management System and PIMS-Privacy Information Management System. External and
internal audits of the ISPMS are performed on an annual basis. Security logs are monitored
continuously.
Measures for certufication uassurance of rocesses and aroducts:
In addition to the measures for internal IT management and IT security governance above,
regular, mandatory training is delivered through an online learning platform to ensure all staff
are familiar with their responsibilities and up to date with policies and procedures. Clear
processes are in place to manage security related incidents and to liaise with law enforcement
if required.
j. MeaWres for pinsuriri data minimization:
EBSCO follows best practices for minimizing data attributes to only those needed to perform

minimum default data set if required.
k. Measures for ensue inn data cLaly:
Institutions and end users have the ability to review and update their information through a
self-service module, or through contacting EBSCO according to the Privacy Policy. Where
applicable, data validation controls are implemented in our environment.
2. Logical access controls:
Measures for user, identification and autho6zation:
A small number of the EBSCO Team with responsibilities for administering and supporting the
system have access to the production environment and databases. This is strictly controlled
by role and requires two -factor authentication to gain access.
Customer Administrator access to end user data is only possible through using an
EBSCOadmin administrator account. Only personnel designated by the customer and a small
number of EBSCO's privileged users have access to this information.
Customers have the ability to set up different authentication options. Options include, but are
not limited to, integration through Single Sign On (SSO) using SAML 2.0, username and
password, IP whitelist authentication, patron ID, Google Campus Activated Subscriber Access
(CASA), Universal CASA and Cookies.
3. Secure media disposal controls:
MeaSLWes for ensur�in Nin, ited data retention:
It is vital that personal data stored within EBSCO's systems meets the requirements for data
privacy and protection and part of that is ensuring personal data is not retained beyond what
is necessary for the defined purpose.
In many cases, EBSCO allows the ability for customers to anonymize end user data by
pseudonymized SSO configuration or removing the option for User Patrons to personalize.
Measures for allowi data portabilit and ensurin erasure:
Upon request or through the self-service module, EBSCO customers can extract Database
Usage Reports, Interface Usage Reports, Link Activity Reports, Login Usage Report and Title
Usage Reports. This data can also be obtained upon request at contract termination, or at any
time through EBSCOadmin.
4. Logging Controls:
a. Measures for ensaw riir , events to Agin :
EBSCO allows customers to view database usage reports, interface usage reports, link activity

security operations center (SOC). No customer action is required, and customers do not have
access to these internal logs.
Personnel Controls:
Contracts for new staff and the onboarding process emphasize individual responsibilities for
information `security and the potential penalties for misuse. Staff resignations trigger an automated
process to ensure access rights to EBSCO's systems are revoked in a timely fashion.
The IT Acceptable Use Agreement covers the acceptable use of EBSCO's information assets. It is issued
to both permanent and contract staff and forms part of the induction for new starters.
Security awareness training is delivered through EBSCO's online training platform. It is delivered at
least annually and is mandatory for all employees.

Measures Including Technical and
Organizational Measures -to Ensure
-the Security of Data
EBSCO shall maintain and use appropriate safeguards to prevent the unauthorized access to or use of Customer
Personal Data and to implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect Customer Personal
Data. Such safeguards shall include:
1. Network and Application Security and Vulnerability Management:
a. Measures of pseudo nyrnization and onraylLtion of personal dirt ,:
Personal data is encrypted at rest using the 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256),
and in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption. Cryptographic key management
is in place as outlined in National Institute of Science and Technology (NISI) standard 800-57.
Measures for ergs arwi�m on oin confi l� e tim Vi e, it vat aiaihty arid resihence of
pc r�cftssi�tems.and services:
EBSCO has an ongoing commitment to certification against relevant International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards, including ISO standards 27001, 27017,
27018 and 27701 both on -premise and at Amazon Web Services (AWS) managed data
centers. EBSCO is hosted both within the Amazon Web Services platform and within legacy on
premise data centers in Ipswich, MA and Boston, MA. Applications and data are distributed
for purposes of high availability and resilience. Features such as automatic recovery and
automatic scaling have been implemented. Applications together with their container
configuration can be redeployed within minutes, if necessary.
c. Measures for ensuring true �jbilitd Ito reskpre t!Le �vailabpBily gnd access to er5on�al d��ta 41 a
timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident.
All applications and data are distributed across multiple nodes and the nodes are distributed
across multiple availability zones within Amazon Web Services to ensure high availability of
the service. The use of a container -based architecture further helps to ensure high availability
of the service. For example, applications automatically restart if they encounter issues and if a
specific node fails, it is removed from service and traffic is directed to the remaining 'healthy'
nodes. Where appropriate, nodes are set to automatically scale to handle unexpected spikes
in traffic. Regular service management meetings review the performance and future capacity
needs of the service. The infrastructure enables horizontal and vertical scaling to be
implemented with significantly reduced lead times compared to a physical infrastructure.
For our legacy on premise, EIS employs two concurrent data centers with failover capabilities
in the event that one of the sites experiences an outage. EBSCO's on -premise data centers are
protected with uninterruptable power supplies, fire suppression systems and limited access
only to personnel necessary for the ongoing operation of the data centers.
EBSCO continuously monitors service availability. The current status can be found here:

Processes for repaularki Gestimtg, asses.sineand evaluating, the effectiveness of technical and
organizational measures in order to ensure the ser;urit+ of the processing:
EBSCO contracts third party penetration testing on an annual basis. In addition, vulnerability
scans are conducted through an automated code deployment pipeline. Our production
environment is scanned continuously. We employ a managed 24/7 security operations team
to continuously monitor our environment. EBSCO regularly applies security updates to our
environment following our comprehensive vulnerability management process. These updates
are done on a rolling basis using a Scaled Agile Framework for Enterprises (SAFe).
Organizational measures are reviewed twice annually, through an internal audit as well as an
external audit conducted on an annual basis by accredited third party auditors. In addition,
regular access reviews to sensitive data and systems are conducted on a regular basis.
EBSCO continually evaluates the security of its network and associated Services to determine
whether additional or different security measures are required to respond to security risks or
findings generated by periodic reviews.
e. Measures for the prategbon of data orfurin transmission:
All data is encrypted in transit using TLS, both from the users' browser to the applications as
well as data in transit between EBSCO systems and subprocessors.
f. Measures for the protection of data Burin stora e:
Personal Data is encrypted at rest using the 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256),
All data storage is isolated from the public internet by a dedicated firewall to ensure only
EBSCO personnel can access the database.
g. Measures toa° ea'rsurin- sNtern configu�°° a oL. incqurSin�f,fault confugr,_ar° tioa
Standardized system configurations are enforced through automated code deployment
pipelines where appropriate.
Measures for internal IT and IT securitv governance and mana ement:
EBSCO's Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) Team maintains the EBSCO Information
Security and Privacy Management system (ISPMS). The ISPMS is continuously monitored and
improved to conform to or exceed the standards required by ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO
27017, and ISO 27108. The EBSCO ISPMS is comprised of the ISMS -Information Security
Management System and PIMS-Privacy Information Management System. External and
internal audits of the ISPMS are performed on an annual basis. Security logs are monitored
continuously.
Measr.trgs for certification assurance of arocesses arad roducts:.
In addition to the measures for internal IT management and IT security governance above,
regular, mandatory training is delivered through an online learning platform to ensure all staff
are familiar with their responsibilities and up to date with policies and procedures. Clear
processes are in place to manage security related incidents and to liaise with law enforcement
if required.
j. Measures for ensuring data minimization:
EBSCO follows best practices for minimizing data attributes to only those needed to perform
www.ebsco.com
License for NoveList Select Page 1 13
required functions and allow its customers and user patrons the ability to extend the
minimum default data set if required.
k. Me MLVes fm ensuring data _st_y:
Institutions and end users have the ability to review and update their information through a
self-service module, or through contacting EBSCO according to the Privacy Policy. Where
applicable, data validation controls are implemented in our environment.
2. Logical access controls:
Measures for user idenCification and authorization,
A small number of the EBSCO Team with responsibilities for administering and supporting the
system have access to the production environment and databases. This is strictly controlled
by role and requires two -factor authentication to gain access.
Customer Administrator access to end user data is only possible through using an
EBSCOadmin administrator account. Only personnel designated by the customer and a small
number of EBSCO's privileged users have access to this information.
Customers have the ability to set up different authentication options. Options include, but are
not limited to, integration through Single Sign On (SSO) using SAML 2.0, username and
password, IP whitelist authentication, patron ID, Google Campus Activated Subscriber Access
(CASA), Universal CASA and Cookies.
3. Secure media disposal controls:
Measures for ensuring limited data retention;
It is vital that personal data stored within EBSCO's systems meets the requirements for data
privacy and protection and part of that is ensuring personal data is not retained beyond what
is necessary for the defined purpose.
In many cases, EBSCO allows the ability for customers to anonymize end user data by
pseudonymized SSO configuration or removing the option for User Patrons to personalize.
b. Measures for allowdag data portability and ensurpDera5aarf,1:,
Upon request or through the self-service module, EBSCO customers can extract Database
Usage Reports, Interface Usage Reports, Link Activity Reports, Login Usage Report and Title
Usage Reports. This data can also be obtained upon request at contract termination, or at any
time through EBSCOadmin.
4. Logging Controls:
a. Measures for ensuring events to gl ::
EBSCO allows customers to view database usage reports, interface usage reports, link activity
reports, login usage reports and title usage reports through EBSCOadmin.
EBSCO employs Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) logs across our resources.
These logs are monitored internally by our information security team and 24/7 managed
www.ebsco.com
License for NoveList Select Page 1 14
security operations center (SOC). No customer action is required, and customers do not have
access to these internal logs.
Personnel Controls:
Contracts for new staff and the onboarding process emphasize individual responsibilities for
information security and the potential penalties for misuse. Staff resignations trigger an automated
process to ensure access rights to EBSCO's systems are revoked in a timely fashion.
The IT Acceptable Use Agreement covers the acceptable use of EBSCO's information assets. It is issued
to both permanent and contract staff and forms part of the induction for new starters.
Security awareness training is delivered through EBSCO's online training platform. It is delivered at
least annually and is mandatory for all employees.
6. Physical security and environmental controls:
a. Measures for ens. r4lkt1ginill data are rocessee :
EBSCO is committed to ensuring the safety of its employees, contractors and assets and takes
the issue of physical security very seriously. EBSCO has a comprehensive set of physical
security controls which ensure that its data centers and offices are sufficiently protected.
Access to data centers is limited only to necessary personnel, and all access is logged and
reviewed for abnormalities.
EBSCO also contracts with AWS for the processing of customer data. AWS provides world class
security within their hosted data centers. For more information on physical security in AWS
hosted environments see: htt s: aws.amazon.cQrn coNance data -center controls
