Model MOUs
This page provides model Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) tailored for shared print initiatives in law libraries, along with examples of past agreements. It serves as a practical resource for institutions drafting or revising MOUs, offering templates, recommended clauses, and insights into how peer libraries have structured commitments around retention, access, governance, and withdrawal.
This customizable Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) template is designed for libraries seeking to form shared print collaborations. It provides a structured framework for defining program goals, membership criteria, governance, financial responsibilities, retention commitments, and access policies. The template includes fill-in-the-blank sections, allowing libraries to tailor the agreement to fit their specific program structures and needs. It supports the establishment of clear expectations, fosters accountability among participants, and promotes the long-term stewardship of shared print collections.
