and update for librarians and publishers
Date: February 29, 2012
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
Description: Building on a preconference offered at ALA Annual 2010
entitled "Taming the Licensing Tiger," the presenters will carry on the
conversation around library licensing issues and answer questions
submitted in advance by attendees. Using an interactive approach
employing chat, audience polling and pre-submitted questions, the
presenters will cover hot topics and current challenges facing libraries
in licensing digital content. The presenters represent the viewpoints of
a publisher (Robert Boissy), an academic library (Becky Albitz) and a
consortium (Tracy Thompson-Przylucki).
Participants will be asked to submit questions upon registration.
Learning Outcomes:
1. Get your pressing licensing questions answered by a panel of experts!
2. Learn the definitions of specific terms of art for licensing.
3. Understand the issues in licensing e-content for libraries today.
4. Explore the effects of the current economy on licensing practices
Who should attend: Librarians with some licensing experience who are
interested in learning more and/or have questions they want to have
answered.
