In the good old days, all we had to master was the Copyright Law and Fair Use. We would acquire a book or a journal, post and monitor a "fair-use" photocopy policy, and go on about our activities. Now, instead of receiving print materials, we become connected with online resources. With each new digital information product, there arrives a separate license. Each contains its own private "copyright" terms imposed by contract. This course provides an introduction to license provisions and terminology, comparing the license and copyright, and managing the licensing process. Through lecture, instructor debate and student participation, you will learn strategies for developing a license management model, including building a team for license evaluations and negotiation; conduct a clause-by-clause analysis of an existing license agreement; develop negotiating strategies; and discuss techniques for building a productive relationship with the legal department.

Space is limited at Holy Cross.
Many seats available at Dartmouth College (NH)!

About ITIG

The Information Technology Interest Group (ITIG) is a special interest group within the Association of College and Research Libraries, New England Chapter (ACRL/NEC).  ITIG was formed to address issues around the implementation, support, training, and use of information technology in libraries.  In November 1998, ITIG was approved by ACRL/NEC and held its first organizational meeting on February 5, 1999. The group offers programs, discussion groups, and information resources such as ITIG-L, our listserv---all of which are designed to help library staff share information about technology challenges and solutions. Possible future program topics may include networking research databases, next generation integrated library systems, and setting up a computer help desk.

 

Join Our Listserv, ITIG-L!
