ABOUT THE WEBINAR
The process of license negotiation has always been a tortuous one for both
publishers and librarians. Librarians have begun to leverage their strength
in numbers and to simplify the process of license negotiation through the
use of consortial licenses that cover more than a single institution. The
use of consortial licensing, the terms and conditions, and the ease in which
they can be negotiated and implemented continue to evolve.
This webinar from the National Information Standards Organization (NISO)
will explore some of the developments in consortial licensing and will look
at new directions and ways to improve the processes.
