Licensing Electronic Resources: State of the Art, a program co-sponsored by the Office of Scholarly Communication of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) and the Coalition of Networked Information (CNI), focuses on the wide-range of complex issues surrounding the licensing of electronic resources from the perspectives of librarians, lawyers, publishers, vendors, and information technologists.
