IDEALS Blanket Agreement for Batch Deposits Non-Exclusive Distribution and Preservation License http://ideals.uiuc.edu/ This agreement allows a designee to act on behalf of multiple individual depositors and authorizes the designee to batch load content to the Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship (IDEALS). The designee acknowledges having read all IDEALS policies and agrees to abide by the terms and conditions therein.

In addition, the designee has conveyed to appropriate individual depositors the terms and conditions outlined in those policies, including the language of the standard deposit license quoted below and that the individual depositors have granted the designee the authority to deposit content on their behalf. The standard deposit license states: To properly administer the Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship (IDEALS) and preserve the contents for future use, the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois on behalf of its Urbana-Champaign campus (the "University") requires certain permissions and warrants from you, the author(s) and/or copyright owner. If you are the copyright owner, by accepting this license, you still retain copyright to your work and do not give up the right to submit the work to publishers or other repositories. If you are not the copyright owner, you represent that the copyright owner has given you permission to deposit the work. By accepting (clicking through) this license, you grant to the University the non-exclusive right to reproduce, translate (as described below), and distribute the submission, including the descriptive information (metadata) and abstract, in any format or medium worldwide and royalty-free, including, but not limited to, publication over the Internet, except as provided for by an addendum to this agreement. When provided, the University will clearly identify your name(s) as the author(s) or copyright owner(s) of the submission as well as the name(s) of the copyright owner(s) if different from your name(s), include a statement of your copyright, and will not make any alteration, other than as allowed by this license, to your submission.

You understand that you may request that the submission be withdrawn from IDEALS, and, in such an event, the descriptive information (metadata) will be retained and a copy of the submission will be retained in a 'dark archive' where it is no longer publicly accessible. If the submission is based upon work that has been sponsored or supported by an agency or organization other than the University, you must fulfill any right of review or other obligations required by the contract or agreement with such an agency or organization before depositing into IDEALS.
