Taming the Licensing Tiger: New Formats, New Standards, New Challenges

Friday, June 25, 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.. Event code: ALC2

Washington Convention Center 146A/B

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
