The webinar was originally in two parts. Both part I & II will be 
shown.

Part I 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
