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.
