E-Resources Licensing Webinar Series
Have you ever wondered about how to read a license agreement being offered to you by a vendor? What agreement language could create problems when your patrons use the products you are licensing? How to talk to vendors to get what you need in a license agreement? What are other libraries doing to manage all of their licensing information? How and when are products included in CARLI licenses and what information resources are available to your library about these products? This webinar series will address all of these questions and more.
These 2-hour sessions are designed to meet the needs of librarians new to the licensing process as well as those that have been at this for a while and are looking for new information.
