Licensing
- it's not just for serials anymore! The rise in popularity of e-books and
streaming media means that acquisitions and collection development librarians
need to examine the impact of new licensing models on their collections and
workflows. This workshop for license managers with some experience will cover
new formats, emerging standards (DLF-ERMi, SERU, ONIX-PL) and their impact on
policies and procedures; staffing and workflow; and negotiations-both local and
consortial.
Presentations
are by: Becky Albitz, Pennsylvania State University (author of Licensing and
Managing Electronic Resources, 2008); Robert Boissy, Director of Network Sales,
Springer; and Tracy L.
Thompson-Przylucki,
Executive Director, New England Law Library Consortium
