Date: Wednesday, September 5, 2018

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 AM Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 PM Central, and 2 PM Eastern time.

This is the third session in a six-part series. View the other sessions in this series.

During this six-part webinar series, attendees will learn the fundamental structure of contracts, commonly used terms, and how to address indemnification clauses, constraints on use permissions, problems of legal jurisdiction, perpetual access rights, and some more recent developments such as the pursuit of text and data mining rights. Contributors will also explore some complex legal issues and other aspects of electronic resources management including how to maintain positive working relationships with vendors, track important changes in business models and technologies, and control costs. Above all, attendees should understand how licensing does not occur in a vacuum, but must be well grounded in a complex chain of information exchange within and beyond the library, all of which should be undertaken to support the library’s mission as understood and implemented by the library administration.

Attendees should understand the fundamental structure of licenses and commonly used terms and clauses. Participants will gain a greater understanding of the impact and integration of licenses on acquisitions and collections work, as well as the effective coordination of licensing information with other library units. This session will also delve into how to translate licenses into your administrative and technical ecosystems, including a discussion of tools that facilitate these processes.
