ABOUT THE COMMERCIAL DIGEST

Since June 2008, the SERIALST moderators have been distributing a
Commercial Digest once a week, on Friday afternoons, with messages
containing informational content from commercial bodies (i.e.,
publishers, vendors, agents, etc.). The moderators review submitted
messages for informational content that may interest our subscribers.

We reserve the right to reject messages that are purely for advertising
or product/service solicitation, with little or no informational content
beyond the solicitation, as well as other content that are not within
the scope and purpose guidelines of SERIALST:

aspects of SERIALST, please let us hear from you. Contact information

Message #1

Subject: E-Resources Licensing Webinar - Still Time to Register
From: "Cynthia Hodgson" <chodgson@niso.org>
Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 10:45:16 -0400

Don't miss NISO's two-part webinar on E-Resources Licensing: The Good, The
Bad, The Ugly to be held on September 9 and 16, 2009. Register for both
webinars and receive a 25% discount!

Part I of the webinar will provide an introduction to the basics of a
license agreement as a legal contract. Participants will learn about basic
legal terminology common to most licenses and what terms should be included
or excluded as part of the negotiation. Mapping of the license terms to an
ERM will be reviewed along with an introduction to the ONIX for Publication
Licenses (ONIX-PL) schema as the mapping standard.

Part II of the webinar will review key terms in an agreement as highlighted
in a sample license. The NISO Shared E-Resource Understanding (SERU)
recommended practice will be introduced and compared to the sample license.
The terms from the sample agreement that need to be mapped to the ERM will
be highlighted. Two different agreements will be compared to show the
differences or overlap in license terms.

Speakers for both parts of the Licensing webinars will be:

    *  Trisha L. Davis, Associate Professor, Rights Management Coordinator,
and Head, Serials & E-Resources Department, The Ohio State University
Libraries

    *  Clinton Chamberlain, Professional Librarian, University of Texas
Libraries

You can register for either webinar or both. Register for both webinars
<https://www.regonline.com/2parts> and receive a 25% discount! Registration
is per site (access for one computer) and includes access to the online
recorded archive of the webinar. NISO and NASIG members receive a discounted
member rate. A student discount is also available. Can't make it on the
