About the Event
Course summary
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
A course from Jisc
Why you should attend
The course is designed 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, and for publishers who need to understand the key issues facing them.
