Understanding the Licensing Landscape

In addition to changes in the prioritization of issues of concern to a library, the number of licenses handled by libraries has grown exponentially. This change in scale means that it is even more important to have in place sound practices for tracking licenses, as well as policies and procedures that encourage or enforce compliance with the terms of the contract. During this one-day preconference, explore core issues to address in license negotiation, discuss selected problems and solutions in licensing language, examine current “hot” issues, recommend negotiation techniques, share negotiation strategies, and discover if the current licensing model is sustainable as libraries attempt to manage an ever-increasing number of licenses and contracts.

New from ACRL

Literature in English: A Guide for Librarians in

the Digital Age, Publications in Librarianship no. 54

Betty H. Day, William A. Wortman, editors

This book addresses concerns related to the acquisition, organization, and use of information sources related to the study and teaching of English literature. The changed literary canon, the expanded range of research and course interests, and the impact of new electronic resources on traditional print are among the issues discussed. With sections devoted to resources and collections, and readers and services, this volume is an essential work for librarians who are new, working actively, or simply taking on a new assignment in reference and/or collection development in the field of literature in English. List: $32.00; ACRL member: $29.00; ISBN 0-8389-8081-3

The Collaborative Imperative: Librarians and Faculty Working Together in the Information Universe

Dick Raspa and Dane Ward, editors

This is a book about librarian and faculty collaboration—as it exists now and as it could exist. The authors define collaboration as two or more people bringing their separate competencies to bear on a problem to work for a solution richer in options than might have been possible working alone. They believe collaboration will be the next great transition in higher education. Included in this book are a series of essays, a review of literature, case studies of exemplary programs at the institutional level, reports of surveys of informal collaborations, a directory of resources, as well as theoretical models of the collaborative enterprise. The focus is on developments within and beyond the instructional arena. This book will challenge readers to risk engaging in the collaborative process at their institution.
