ALCTS e-Forum: Wrangling License Agreements

September 27-28, 2016

Moderated by Katy DiVittorio and Michael Rodriguez

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Negotiating the best terms and conditions for your libraries and users is
often challenging and complicated. Explore the impact of license agreements
and share best practices for optimizing and managing these agreements. What
do license agreements look like and what concerns might the various
sections and clauses present? Attend this e-Forum to share experiences and
practical solutions for wrangling and benchmarking license agreements to
align with library best practices.

What Is an e-Forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters
of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The
e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email
address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate
with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two
to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
