Description:
This webinar will cover the steps and best practices for
creating a license template for your institution, including
creating standard language that you can use in negotiation
and a review of model licenses we have in the field. I will
also highlight new license clauses that we’re seeing in
agreements and approaches for negotiating them, as well as
emerging areas of interest and concern, especially with
regards to new formats or acquisition models that require
new language that has not yet been standardized. I will also
share updates about popular standard model licenses.

Speakers:
Liane Taylor
Continuing Resources Librarian/Interim Head Acquisitions
Librarian
Texas State University

Liane has been negotiating licenses within libraries since
2005. She has served as the Continuing Resources Librarian
at Texas State University since 2009 and also currently
serves as the Interim Head of Acquisitions. During her
tenure, she has negotiated several major system-wide
licenses with major publishers, created an institutional
license template, and begun work on new, standardized
language not currently found in model licenses. She has
developed a website that enables librarians to compare
clauses in model licenses.
