Registration

Unfortunately the seminar is fully booked, we are holding a waitlist and we welcome you to sign up here.  We will contact you should a place become available and also let you know when the next event is scheduled. 

Course Information

Electronic publishing has brought huge changes to learned information provision and to the role of librarians and other information professionals.  ‘Ownership’ of content is no longer a simple matter of receiving and storing print copies on a shelf.  Publishers and intermediaries license access to electronic resources, and so the licence has become a feature of most sales agreements.  Information professionals consequently need to become familiar with the terms and conditions of licences, their meaning and their implications.  This two-day online course will address these issues using a mixture of presentations, Q&A and some homework.

Why should you attend?

The online course is designed specifically for librarians involved in e-resource purchasing in academic institutions. Librarians in these institutions who are being trained to undertake purchasing roles will also benefit from attending. Participants will gain a good understanding of the key issues surrounding publisher licensing and negotiations, together with practical skills and knowledge which they will be able to use in their professional lives.

Jisc Collections has an international reputation for expertise in the negotiation and licensing of scholarly online resources.  It currently manages around 200 agreements, and its model licence is seen as a ‘gold standard’ across the academic sector.

 

DO NOTE:  We welcome participants from all corners of the globe to join our seminars, however speakers and topics for this event are generally UK focussed and times are in BST, if you have any doubt about the suitability, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
