ALCTS Webinar: Negotiation of E-Resource Licensing & Pricing Terms
Wednesday, May 7 , 2014
All webinar sessions are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific,
12 Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.
Description
Electronic resources have more complexity in license agreements and
pricing terms than other library materials, and librarians must be
assertive in negotiating for these resources in this time of budget cuts
and uncertainty. The librarian who accepts prices and terms as they are
given is not getting the best possible deal for the library. Vendors are
often more willing to negotiate than the librarian might expect. In this
presentation, we will discuss successful negotiation strategies for
pricing and terms of library e-resources.
Learning Outcomes
Attendees will come away from this webinar with new strategies for
assertive and balanced negotiation, and an awareness of possible
pitfalls in the process.
Who Should Attend
Librarians or staff members who manage e-resource contracts and licenses
on behalf of a library.
Presenter
Abbie Brown is Head of Consortial Resources for the University of
Missouri System. She negotiates consortial e-resource licenses and
contracts for a group of Missouri academic libraries and manages the
purchase of individual e-resources on behalf of two campuses. She has
been working in consortial acquisitions since 2006 and has presented on
the topic of negotiation and vendor relations at several statewide
conferences. Abbie graduated with an MLS from University of
Maryland-College Park in 2005.
