UKSG Licensing Skills for Librarians
(a course from Jisc Collections)
Wednesday 4 November 2015
The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, London
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.
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. 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.

· understand the key issues surrounding publisher licensing, and how these impact libraries
