The Michigan State University Libraries supports several health colleges and programs with image-rich online textbook resources. These high-quality images are in demand by instructors creating curricula, particularly for a medical school. Standard license agreements and terms of use for these resources can be confusing, vary by publisher, and do not always reflect todayâ€™s educational needs. Over time, we have developed, negotiated, and used custom license addenda to several ebook packages and products. These license addenda have allowed our faculty content creators to legally embed images from major medical textbooks into course materials and websites. Simultaneously, they link out to the image in its original context which has driven substantial increases in ebook usage over the last 4 years. 
 
 We have found this to be a unique opportunity to collaborate with teaching faculty on the use of resources in education. Our efforts also demonstrate the willingness of major publishers to update their understanding of online education and online medical education materials and allow use of their materials that is prohibited by standard agreements and terms of use. We will engage our audience in discussions of existing license language, how one would use plain language to ensure readability and understanding of agreements, and strategies for integrating and embedding library content into curricula that shows the value of library materials and reduces overall cost for students.
