ALA/ALCTS Preconference: Taming the Licensing Tiger
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
