Webinar on E-Resources (02 . 09 . 2009)
Don't miss NISO's two-part webinar on E-Resources
Licensing: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly to be held on September 9 and 16, 2009.
Part I of the webinar will provide an introduction to the
basics of a license agreement as a legal contract. Participants will learn
about basic legal terminology common to most licenses and what terms should be
included or excluded as part of the negotiation. Mapping of the license terms
to an ERM will be reviewed along with an introduction to the ONIX for
Publication Licenses (ONIX-PL) schema as the mapping standard.
Part II of the webinar will review key terms in an
agreement as highlighted in a sample license. The NISO Shared E-Resource
Understanding (SERU) recommended practice will be introduced and compared to
the sample license. The terms from the sample agreement that need to be mapped
to the ERM will be highlighted.
Two different agreements will be compared to show the
differences or overlap in license terms.
Speakers for both parts of the Licensing webinars will
be:
Trisha L. Davis, Associate Professor, Rights
Management, Coordinator,
and Head, Serials & E-Resources Department, The Ohio
State University Libraries
Clinton Chamberlain, Professional Librarian,
University of Texas
