NISO Webinar on E-Resources Licensing



Don't miss NISO's two-part webinar on E-Resources Licensing: The 
Good, The Bad, The Ugly to be held on September 9 and 16, 2009. 
Register for both webinars and receive a 25% discount!

Part I of the webinar will provide an introduction to the basics 
of a license agreement as a legal contract. Participants will 
learn about basic legal terminology common to most licenses and 
what terms should be included or excluded as part of the 
negotiation. Mapping of the license terms to an ERM will be 
reviewed along with an introduction to the ONIX for Publication 
Licenses (ONIX-PL) schema as the mapping standard.

Part II of the webinar will review key terms in an agreement as 
highlighted in a sample license. The NISO Shared E-Resource 
Understanding (SERU) recommended practice will be introduced and 
compared to the sample license. The terms from the sample 
agreement that need to be mapped to the ERM will be highlighted. 
Two different agreements will be compared to show the differences 
or overlap in license terms.

Speakers for both parts of the Licensing webinars will be:

     *  Trisha L. Davis, Associate Professor, Rights Management
       Coordinator, and Head, Serials & E-Resources Department,
       The Ohio State University Libraries

     *  Clinton Chamberlain, Professional Librarian, University of
       Texas Libraries
