E-Resources Licensing: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, Part Two

Webinar

About the Webinar

Following up on Part I of this two-part series on e-resources licensing, this seminar will continue to provide an overview of legal terminology employed in licenses, including an exploration of terms that may be of concern to libraries and solutions for mitigating problematic language.  In addition, there will be an update on the Shared E-Resource Understanding (SERU) and the impact it is having in the community, including examples of how both libraries and publishers are integrating SERU into their workflows.

This is Part Two of a two-part webinar series on licensing. Visit here for more information on Part One.
