ALA/ALCTS Preconference: Taming the Licensing Tiger

["Christine Turner" <cturner@library.umass.edu>]

Taming the Licensing Tiger: New Formats, New Standards, New 
Challenges

Friday, June 25, 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.. Event code: ALC2

Washington Convention Center 146A/B

Licensing - it's not just for serials anymore! The rise in 
popularity of e-books and streaming media means that acquisitions 
and collection development librarians need to examine the impact 
of new licensing models on their collections and workflows. This 
workshop for license managers with some experience will cover new 
formats, emerging standards (DLF-ERMi, SERU, ONIX-PL) and their 
impact on policies and procedures; staffing and workflow; and 
negotiations-both local and consortial.

Presentations are by: Becky Albitz, Pennsylvania State University 
(author of Licensing and Managing Electronic Resources, 2008); 
Robert Boissy, Director of Network Sales, Springer; and Tracy L. 
Thompson-Przylucki, Executive Director, New England Law Library 
Consortium
