Subject: Position Announcement
Please plan to attend the ALCTS Publisher - Vendor - Library Relations
Interest Group Open Forum in San Antonio:
Standardized License Expression : Clarity, Control and Fair Use
8 - 10 AM on Monday morning, January 23, 2006
Room 204B in the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center
Some of the most difficult issues related to the management of
electronic
resources revolve around licensing. To help ease the pain, many are
calling for a new set of industry standards to express license terms
more
clearly and simply. While all segments of the library market have a
stake
in these developments, their goals and requirements may sometimes seem
to
be in conflict with one another. With an introduction by Tim Jewell (of
ERMI Group fame), libraries, publishers, and standards organizations
will
describe various perspectives on what's needed, and how best to move
forward. Speakers include: Trisha Davis, Ohio State University; Alicia
Wise, Publishers Licensing Society, UK; Brian Green, EDitEUR; and
Richard
Fyffe, University of Kansas.
PVLR hosts an open forum at each ALA Conference, summer and winter.
Recent topics have included:
Publishers and Librarians Respond to the DLF/ERMI Report
The Impact of ISBN-13 on Publishers, Vendors and Libraries
When are eBooks THE Books?
Here Today, Gone Tomorrow: Why Online Content Disappears
A New Seal of Approval: Print and Electronic Approval Plans in the 21st
Century
We conduct our business meeting every conference at 1:30 PM on Saturday
afternoon. To learn about how you might get involved with this
important
work, please contact the chair:
