During this six-part webinar series, attendees will learn the fundamental
structure of contracts, commonly used terms, and how to address
indemnification clauses, constraints on use permissions, problems of legal
jurisdiction, perpetual access rights, and some more recent developments
such as the pursuit of text and data mining rights. Contributors will also
explore some complex legal issues and other aspects of electronic resources
management including how to maintain positive working relationships with
vendors, track important changes in business models and technologies, and
control costs. Above all, attendees should understand how licensing does
not occur in a vacuum, but must be well grounded in a complex chain of
information exchange within and beyond the library, all of which should be
undertaken to support the library’s mission as understood and implemented
by the library administration.
