At last! Licensing Worshop for Publishers!

["Trisha L. Davis" <davis.115@osu.edu>]

In response to many, many queries from publishers and vendors, I'm
delighted to announce the first workshop on licensing directed at
publishers and vendors.  If demand continues, the ARL will schedule a
number of such workshops around the country or for individual groups or
societies.  If you have further questions, feel free to contact Mary Case
at the ARL, or me at the address below.
