Canadian Subscribers ??
David, While the law may be different, the common-sense and creativity espoused by the contributors to this list applies on either side of the border. As someone working in electronic publishing (Micromedia Limited), I am learning lots from the List and hope to contribute as it is appropriate. Since much of negotiating is just trying to understand the other side's perspective or problem, this List will do much to improve library-publisher relations. To add another element to this list, I negotiate licenses between Information Providers (periodical, monograph, research, scholarly publishers, government departments, database creators, etc.) and an electronic publisher of library research tools. I frequently find myself needing to explain to IPs why and how the library community uses the IP's content in order to negotiate a license agreement for content reproduction rights. (I find that my years as a reference librarian help in making them understand the difference between somebody reading a print copy of a magazine on the subway while on the way to work, and the same person search for information from periodicals within a research setting.)
