> From July 11 until August 12 the Association of Research Libraries is
> offering their on-line course entitled
>
>Licensing Review and Negotiation.
>
>This Online Lyceum course was created in response to the ongoing demand
>for an introductory course that covers the basics of licensing electronic
>information products for libraries. The course content designers and
>facilitators are the same expert faculty who conducted this popular
>workshop in person for over five years, and the course content is
>continuously updated to reflect current licensing issues.
>
>In this course you will:
> * Gain an understanding of the U.S. legal environment that affects the
> licensing of electronic information products.
> * Explore the roles and needs of the various licensing stakeholders,
> from user to library to licensor.
> * Become familiar with typical electronic product license terms and
> conditions and what they really mean.
> * Learn to reduce risk for your institution, library, users, and
> yourself during the license review and negotiation process.
> * Learn how to make the license negotiation go smoothly.
> * Develop a toolkit of materials to bring to your real-world licensing
> work.
>
>This Online Lyceum course incorporates elements of both synchronous
>(real-time) and asynchronous interaction with course facilitators and a
>global peer network of up to 30 learners via a course bulletin board, chat
>rooms, and regular e-mail. This course also includes interaction with
>course facilitators via the submission of assignments which will be
>reviewed and returned with feedback.
